Unless you're lucky enough to have an isp that will extend your email subscription for a reduced fee.. all things in your email account will be unaccessable, and be deleted as soon as you close your account.

Airports dont care how old your laptop is or who makes it.

If you have some important things in your isp's email account, you can set up a Yahoo Mail or Google Mail account before you cancel the account and then just forward the important emails to your newly set up Yahoo or Gmail account and they will be saved. It's a good idea to keep one of these (or both) web based email accounts as they never delete emails, unless you choose to, and no matter which isp you have, you keep these accounts.

Thanks for the replies. I did open another account today to forward things to. I don't know if it will help but I moved my address book and favorites to my desktop. Will that save them? I thought it would be worth a try. LOL

That should save them, you could also copy/paste them into a word document and print them out, just in case they get lost somewhere.

I don't know who provides the new account you opened, but in both hotmail and gmail I can import my email contacts by exporting them as a comma separated file from my old account and importing it into the new account.

I see no one has ask if you are using an email client (Outlook Express or the like). If you are, then nothing will be lost by changing providers. You will just have to remove the old account and add the new one.

Good Luck

All you will need to do is set up a new account in Outlook Express. Your email addresses will still be there and your favorites won't be involved at all.
