Hello. Can I delete an account in outlook 2000 but keep the messages for

So, they DO get lost when deleting the account?

I don't believe they do get lost but they would lose the association with a
new email account as far as I'm aware.

If the account is an Exchange account and it is deleted on the server, yes.
If it's a POP account, no.
