[second try] IMAP - how to permanently store eMail local
E>> I create a pop Account and add manually all the folders to it.
> All 1200 of them? ;-)
Yep! But I give you a hint, that I have made a try with aid4mails and
got at least the folder structure in my explorer visible.
E>> I open TB! press Shift-CTRL-Alt+L and all folders will be imported.
> I don't get that - if you already set up the folders, why do this?
Press Shift-CTRL-Alt+L collects all Lost Folders in the Account Folder
of TB!
Ok let me structure that. Be aware that I was using various Apps in
different stages that created various results:
-- Using aid4mails it created all folders and .MSG files local on my
HD. But some eMails are not properly encoded (arabic)
-- Using aid4mails I uploaded all the eMails successfully on an IMAP
account. I see the folders properly and ALL eMails. Now I want this
exactly on the local HD.
-- Using IMAPsize (will look deeper into this right after). Output
is .EML
-- Using BeyondInbox creates much more folders than necessary (Yearly
Numbering). Output is .EML
E>> Then I go from folder to folder and c&p from IMAP Account into the
E>> POP account.

Unfortunately Yes :(

Who cares Outlook? We import into TB! and there you can sort by
creation. I think that solution would only be the last resort.
I am still hoping for IMAPsize working as I want to.
