    I'm thinking about moving the domain I own from GoDaddy to a less expensive provider.

    This outfit looks like it'll meet my needs:

    https://www.hostgator.com/

    It gets good reviews for basic email service, which is all I need. No web hosting, blogs, etc.

    Here's the rub: About 6 months ago GoDaddy transitioned to Microsoft Exchange. During the transition, it took quite a while for all of my emails to migrate to the Exchange server.

    I can access the mails either through my Mac's mail app or by going through Office 365 which then takes me to "My Organization's Login Page" - GoDaddy.

    Takes me to this:

    Which takes me to this:

    The other service I'm looking at also uses Office 365 and Microsoft Exchange for their email.

    But...I assume that if I leave GoDaddy, I will no longer have access to the emails that are on their Exchange server. Is that right?

      Migration of e-mail data is simple with everything on Microsoft Exchange.. It’s a matter of policy I suspect

        This is one of the reasons I stayed with a POP email account for the longest time. All of my mails were on my computer, not on some server somewhere.

        If I switch domain providers, do I lose the mails that are currently on my computer?

          You can always copy emails to a local email box, no?

            Yes.

            Is there an easy way to check if the email lives locally or is on the server?

              Cut your Ethernet cable, then check if you can do a full-text search of your inbox.

                @George-K ☝ , “disconnect”, not “cut.” Also turn off Wi-Fi just in case your computer is also set up to connect via Wi-Fi.

                    Also, a local mailbox lives in a file (or folder) on your hard disk.

                    Usually, you should be able to locate that file. In Thunderbird, for instance, you can right-click on a local folder and check the location of that file.

                      It's not quite as simple on Apple's Mail App, but I found it in the library:

                          Did that, opened the Mail app, and got this:

                          So, apparently, these messages are not stored locally.
