Can I delete an account without losing messages?

[rtb]

Somehow in Windows Mail, I have 4 accounts, but I only want 2. My email
provider is Telus (1 email is @telusplanet.net the other is @telus.net). On
their website it only shows the 2 accounts, both IMAP. This is what I want
on Windows Mail. But when I go to Tools -- Accounts it shows 4: the 2 IMAP
accounts I want (with the individual email addresses) and 2 more pop3
accounts with the telusplanet.net address. One of these pop3 accounts has
"(default)" after it and the other has "(1)" after it.
I had changed my pop3 account with Telus to IMAP, then added or changed the
IMAP account in Windows Mail quite some time ago.

I'm not sure how incoming emails are being routed. If I delete all the other
accounts listed in Windows Mail, will I lose any of the emails that I already
have on my computer?

have messages in an answering machine at home or in your business, then the
messages will be in the answering machine.
