I used windows live mail client with several gmail accounts. I can drag and drop emails into other local folders, I can backup I can do anything I want just like it is a non gmail account.

Exede email is currently “Gmail powered” using the usern...@exede.net domain name. It is 100% Gmail but additionally branded as “Exede”. So first question. Will Exede cancel the person’s “exede gmail” email account when they cancel their satellite service? I assume this is not a “free” Gmail account so I expect the answer will be ‘yes’. If so, what is the best way to migrate stored data such as historical email to a vanilla usern...@gmail.com account? Confusion reigns due to the auto log-in feature of Chrome as some users can’t understand the difference between a browser log-in and an email log-in and an Exede web site log-in since they all use the same email @exede.net email address as the username and the browser “handles” this for them.
