Deleting mail from one computer but keeping it on a new one.

Hello,

I have just bought a new computer and transferred all my email accounts (3
accounts in total) and all the e-mail messages in each 3 over to my new
computer.

I should mention that one of the accounts is an Imap account.

What I am trying to do is delete all the e-mail messages in each account on
my old computer so that it is completely clean so I can then give it to my
daughter without any of my messages on there.

The first time I deleted all of the emails on my old computer, it also
deleted all of them on my new computer as well.

How can I keep all of my emails that were transferred to my new computer and
delete all of them on my old one without affecting my new computer?

Is it a question of deleting each actual account in my old one completely?
Or by doing this, will I subsequently delete all of the accounts on the new
one as well?

Can anybody tell me the right way to do this? Basically, I want to keep all
of my emails of my new computer but not the old.

Thank you

Evelyn
