Hi 

I am moving away from Spark after a 16 year love affair.  I would be still subscribing to the email service for a few months until I have weaned off all my past correspondence from my name@xtra.co.nz

to name@y7mail.com and perhaps capture any strays that have fallen through the cracks.

Dont slap me for not doing this any earlier, been lazy, but Telecom aka Spark have always been kind to me and had offered discounts when I hinted at quitting. But unfortunately, the retention team is not offering any freebies this time. So I have already committed the move to another ISP.

I use the xtra webmail so that I can access all my emails and folders from both home/work computers and also my mobile device.

One solution is to use an email client like Mozilla thunderbird and scoop all the emails, but that would mean they would all reside on that client/PC.

Are there any other solutions than painstakingly send each mail to my name@y7mail.com

Changing all other subscriptions like netflix, bank, NZ post IRD etc associated to my name@xtra.co.nz,  has already been a mission.

I wanted your thoughts before I start on this journey and look at other avenues from fellow geeks.

If this query has been addressed before,  please point me to the correct forum.

I am assuming that when I cancel the email subscription to Spark, all my emails and folders get deleted.

thanks
