Hi there,

I changed hosting provider and wish to delete two email accounts from Outlook for Mac 2011 -- a POP account and an IMAP account. I have thousands of emails associated with these accounts. Most are stored in PST's that I imported into Outlook from my old laptop (which I just retired. I am new to Mac.)

When I go to delete the accounts, I receive the message "All items in this account will be removed from your computer." Really?!

If they are stored in PSTs, will I truly lose these emails when I delete these accounts? I can back-up, and I really don't want to go through the hassle of having to restore right now -- too much going on.

I have read posts suggesting that POP account files are safe. And IMAP accounts?

I appreciate any insights you have.

Robin
