Hi!

First, excuse my english, it's not my main language.

My current host (call it SOURCE) switch me off for no payment (not the matter here).

So I contacted a new one (call it DESTination).

I want to create an email in DEST (with the same email address, i@r.com) that has to be a clone of the one in SOURCE.

Currently I can see all the emails entries in thunderbird, but when clicking one of them, it says error and do not show it.

What if in thunderbird I reenter the password and other information of the new one? Will be them deleted in my computer? Which files should I save before trying this? Is better to create a new email entry in thunderbird and copy/move emails from one to the other? Is there a file I should ask to SOURCE people about my email database?

Thank you. In this email address they are important emails I want to recover.

Who "owns" this email address? Who do/did you pay for it?

If you owe them money, it's hard to see why SOURCE should offer you nay help.

The host remove me as I do not renew with them... but they do not sent me any email for payment.

And your answer do not answer anything :)

They offer me to sent me a backup of the entire web page, but they asnwer me just 1 question per day...
