TDS is dropping support for email services 10/31/2026. They are providing an option to migrate our data to a new provider Everymail, I'm wondering what other options I have and what it means to my current mail data(Inbox, Archive etc..) if I go to another provider(not Everymail)?

I've used just the default profile I setup when I started using Thunderbird, I can't tell where all of that data is stored and I don't want to loose some of the Archived messages from over the years. 

 When I click on properties for the Thunderbird Archive Folder it shows:

mailbox://botto%40chorus.net@mail.tds.net/Archive

Is this data on my local storage or on TDS?

Any help here would be appreciated, Thanks

You will not lose your addressbook, as that is separate from your TDS account. And, if the old account is shut down, you will need to COPY the messages to Local Folders so that the old account can be closed. Otherwise, if you keep it after shut down, you will be regularly prompted for the password, as thunderbird will not know it is disabled.

If the account is POP, all messages are on the PC already. That 'archive folder looks like it is local. Please confirm whether the account is POP or IMAP as instructions are different. I presume this will be a new account with a different email address?

The account is POP3, so I'll have access to the archived messages once TDS shuts down, which is what I was looking for. If I do not go with TDS's migration to EVERYMAIL I will probably change all of my contacts with the TDS address to my GMail address and set up a Thunderbird profile to access them.

Thanks
