If I download e-mails from my account using a client like Thunderbird, can I just somehow copy them to a thumb drive and open them in whatever program later, without logging in to the account etc?
I want to delete my account, but need access to all my e-mails off.
In Outlook it’s called the .pst file.
In thunderbird I think it’s an mbox file.
Not a lot of mail apps out there. I’d go with thunderbird mbox.

You can save individual emails as .msg or .eml files, way easier to work with if you only have a few emails to export.
OP has an entire account.
