When I dumped my optonline.net email account and started using my old hotmail account I had several thousand emails on their server. I went out and downloaded "Seamonkey" (think old style Netscape type browser with an email program imbedded). Configured the mail program, and downloaded everything off the server (I kept them on the server as well) and on to my local system (all emails in all my folders, now saved on my hard drive).
Not difficult to do, and the added benefit is you can mirror your old emails on each computer (I have them on my laptop, and my desktop server at home). Renaming the account later on and changing the email address is as simple as can be.......
Hope you find this helpful as well. Ron might have an even easier way, but this is what worked for me.
