Default Closing external IMAP email help needed... Outlook 2013

I'm closing some VERY old Earthlink email accounts, as I no longer use them and don't want to continue paying for the service. But, I want to save all the old emails on my laptop's Outlook 2013.



I've got the accounts set up as IMAP on my laptop's Outlook 2013 and it has downloaded and synced all emails and folders to the laptop. I want to know how I can close down the IMAP connection between my laptop's Outlook and the external Earthlink email so that when I delete the Earthlink email account my Outlook 2013 will not continue to try and find it. Also, I'm also worried that if I delete the Earthlink account it will also "update" my Outlook email and delete it from my Outlook.

Basically I'm asking how do I delete (close down) my Earthlink account without also deleting the emails on my laptop's Outlook 2013, AND, so my Outlook 2013 won't continue to look for these accounts everytime it does a Send/Recieve.

I tried to 'unsubscribe' all the folders in Outlook, but it won't let me unsubscribe the 'Sent' folders, saying "Cannot unsubscribe from folder. 'Sent is a special folder and cannot be unsubscribed from in Outlook.". I suppose I could just move the content of my sent folder to another new folder... ? But I'm not real confident this 'Unsubcribing' actually works, based on some comments in other threads that the folders continued to be updated. Even if it does work, that would still leave my Outlook 2013 trying to find and sync with an account that is no longer out there.

Seems it should be simple but I'm not finding how get this done!

Thanks!
