OK, one thing at a time... 1. No, I don't use Outlook with -- or without -- Seamonkey. I hate the damn thing. I have to support it for my corporate users, though, so I know a bit about it. 2. Generally speaking, you don't. Syncing the Seamonkey/Thunderbird address book with *anything* is troublesome at best. It's by far the weakest point of the Mozilla mail products. And, although it's *possible* to sync Outlook with a variety of products, it usually depends on some commercial software to do it. 3. Also, you don't "change" POP settings into IMAP in Outlook (or in fact, in any other mail client I'm aware of). POP and IMAP use fundamentally different strategies for downloading and storing messages. What I suggest you do is this: a. Add an IMAP account to your mail client. b. Move your old e-mail messages from the old folders either to some sort of local archive folders or to the IMAP folders on your server, if you need to access those messages from other environments (cellphone/tablet/webmail/other computers). c. Delete the old POP account. Note that deleting your account in some mail clients (Windows Live Mail is notorious in this regard) will destroy any old messages stored under its folder tree. So be sure any message you want to preserve is stored somewhere else. Better yet, be sure to have a full backup of your e-mails before starting. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
