The POP mail is stored on the computer - even if you delete the POP
account, the mail will still be there on the computer.

So, backup the mail (for safety), delete the POP account, create the
IMAP account, once that's all done and everything is happy, copy
whatever mail you want from "On this computer" into the IMAP account.

There's no need to remove the mailbox under "On this Computer", and if
it's the Inbox, you probably shouldn't anyway as it'll just cause
confusion later.
