Emails stored where? Moving them out...

They are stored in User Name>Library>Mail.

You have the option of archiving a mailbox if you want. Choose/select the mailbox you would like to archive - either an existing one or a new one for that effect - then go to Mailbox>Archive Mailbox...
It is also easy to restore a mailbox once archived.

Your mailboxes are in home folder>library>mail.. in that mail folder you will then see a folder for each of your email accounts and in each of these email accounts folders you will see a mailbox corresponding to each of the mailboxes in Leopard Mail.

I think you misunderstood. I specified home folder/library/mail where in that folder - the Mail folder - you would see all your email account folders. The folder Mailboxes you looked into is not an email account folder.

Your email account folder in Mail should read as follows:
pop-"your pop email address" if you have a pop account
Mac-"your user name" if you have a .mac account
IMAP-"your IMAP email address@imap.yourmailprovider.com" if you have an IMAP account
Exchange-"your exchange email address" if you have an Exchange account.

In that email account folder, or more than one if you have more than one email account set up in Mail, you will then find all your mailbox architecture. In each mailbox you should see three items - usually - an Attachment folder where attachments are located if you have received any, an info.plist document and a Messages folder. That last folder lists all the emails located in the mailbox selected.

My two cents is that you are better off archiving from Mail, maybe by creating special mailboxes for that effect and moving emails there and then archiving, then again it's a personal opinion 😉

hmm... so in sugeet>library>mail you do not have a folder for our current email account? but you have one for your old pop.

why don't you try to search the new active email account in spotlight and see where it resides? follow the format I gave you already whether it is a pop, imap... let me know what you find.

as for the old one, open it and see what is in there, you should have mailboxes for that email account and in each of these mailboxes a messages folder where emails should reside.

good so everything is working then! correct?

personally I would not do it that way. I would follow what I suggested in on of my first post, which is to archive in Leopard Mail itself, rather than go to where the emails are stored in your library.

hah, thanks for pointing that out, it was not clear that you could not see them in Leopard Mail

may i suggest you try to import the mailbox from that old email account where you know these old emails are. to do that, go to mail>file>import and choose Mail for Mail OS X, you will then be asked for the path or location of the folder/mailbox you want to import. Once imported these emails will show up in a mailbox nmed import, created by Leopard Mail for that effect. You can then view them in that mailbox, and either file to another mailbox or delete
