How can I read my old POP3 emails on Thunderbird from a closed email account that Thunderbird first wants me to open?
For several years, I routinely used Thunderbird to download (POP mode) emails from my previous Centurytel.net email account. I thought that these POP emails downloaded onto my computer via Thunderbird would later be readable, even though I closed my Centurytel.net email account. However, when opening Thunderbird (to try to read any), the Thunderbird software insists on first logging into that (now defunct email account) by username and password. Of course, now that fails as that account at Centurytel.net no longer exists. Is there a way to still read such old emails by bypassing in Thunderbird the requirement to first log into that now defunct email account?
Thanks in advance for any and all help, Paul

Urgh. Was Tools|Account Settings|{select the centurytel account}|Server Settings→Fetch Headers Only checked? If so, you don't have the message bodies. They are (or were) on the server.

Try setting Thunderbird to offline - look under File on the menu.
Now if you move the messages to Local Folders, you can delete the account in Thunderbird and you won't get any further connection errors.
Thanks. My other IMAP messages have at least name and subject, but my POP messages are apparently missing or gone entirely (?).
