Removal of a pop3 account will remove the **messages, the email account, and all account settings**.
Prior to removing a pop3 account in WLM, copy the messages to a user created folder in the Storage Folders or to a folder in
Windows Explorer.
If you wish to recreate the account later, prior to removal, export the account to an *iaf file, which will allow importing with
the prior settings and recreate the account.
