Solved

Hello,
I want to change my internet provider
from Orange to Free (Monday, supposedly)
I currently have Windows Live Mail which stores several email addresses including 2 Orange
which will be deleted after my cancellation
.......I want to back up my emails, how do I do this? Should I organize them one by one into a folder???
I've changed my email on various sites (the biggest ones) and informed my contacts; is there anything I've forgotten?
.......I've stored some Orange emails in folders via Windows Live Mail (which are stored on my computer), will I keep those emails?
Thanks a lot

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 18.0

Good evening,

Having an email address linked to your Internet Service Provider is a bad idea...an independent address like a Gmail address avoids this kind of problem as it is separate from your provider.
Anyway, I recommend creating a new address either with Google, Windows, or another service, then importing your emails and contacts from your old address: tutorial for importing emails into Gmail (Google): https://support.google.com/mail/answer/21289?hl=fr&visit_id=637166797275425880-1987370454&rd=1
