Once an email is received, it should not be affected by changes in a mail account.

I'd suggest you completely remove the email accounts and recreate the one you want.

You might want to drag and drop all critical emails into a folder on your drive beforehand just to be on the safe side.

Note: Time Machine no longer backs up your email messages. To do so you will have to use another backup app such as Carbon Copy Cloner.
