Buy storage above the 10 Gig limit on emails, or storage limit work around ?

So for the past year I have been bouncing between 98-99% on the 10 GIG limit on emails. I have been using this for 25+ years and have lots of email in lots of folders, and I would like to keep them as is.

Can I buy more storage above the 10 GIG limit ? Seems reasonable and another income stream for Comcast (not that they need any more, IMO). 

OR, is there a work around like move them all, AS IS in folders with attachments, etc., into say a new dummy email for my reference when needed, and then leave my old/current email address in place with basically a clean slate within the 10 GIG limit ? Even IF I could move the entire thing, AS IS, into a different provider, I would do that.

Ideas or answers please ?

Thanks,

Frank

Unfortunately you cannot buy more storage.

I don't think you can set up a dummy email and move the folders over.  You would have to create the folders in the new email address and then send the emails individually.  You could try setting up a third party email client and downloading all your emails into that using IMAP, but that might take a lot of time depending on how many emails you currently have.  And then you would have to set it up to delete the messages after they are downloaded to your computer.
