Hi,
I am setting up an email service with a new template,etc and exporting all the feedburner contacts out to move them.
The problem is- I have  2 separate accounts within my blog for some reason. A feedburner account- that I was able to download and move contacts over - and then I have another separate account that says 'Feedfetcher' and has 5000+ subscribers there- but no way to export a contact list. There is nothing that even shows up- just an explanation of what 'feedfetcher' is. 
Is this the same as Feedburner or a completely different thing? I did get two emails- one with the new template (that I signed up to receive as a test) and an old email- so not sure what is going on but obviously I need to fix it.

Any ideas or tips?

Thanks in advance!

What's the blog address ? 
What changes are you making - eg moving from Blogger to Wordpress or vice versa ? 

On your Feedburner account (check all your possible Google accouns), 
on the stats of all your different Feedburner feeds, the only thing you can export 
is your list of email subscribers. 

that says 'Feedfetcher' and has 5000+ subscribers there

Those 5k are people who are subscribed to your rss/atom feeds 
with a feed aggregator of their choice. 
Tracking who they are is not really even theoretically possible, 
as they are not necessarily logged in to anything. 
With Feedburner, you'll at least be able to see some aggregate statistics on them. 

Deleting the Feedburner feed would be the last option - at which point 
you should set up perma-redirect to your new feed URL 
The much better option is to update the Original Feed URL.
