    Course, you'll need to get another email account. You can get a free one like Gmail.com or Hotmail.com .

    As far as backing up your current mail - it'll depend if you only read mail on the internet or if you use an application like Outlook Express or Outlook.

    If possible - adding the account info to an application like Outlook would be the easiest. All the mail on the server should come down to your local pc... Other than that - you would have to forward all mail to another email account.

    In general there are at least a couple of steps

    1. Migrate data from current mailbox to new mailbox. This is done for each mailbox while current mailboxes are in production and using IMAP protocol if available

    2. After migration change MX and A records so DNS points to new mail server

    There are some additional issues that may need attention depending on types of mail servers, size and number of mailboxes and email activity.
