Moving to IMAP is different for each provider. For example, Comcast does not have IMAP accounts, so I forward my Comcast POP accounts to a Gmail IMAP account. I keep send only accounts in Entourage for my Comcast accounts so I can reply using the Comcast email address. Some hosts make you select which type of account you want online and others just have you enter the account in your email client by type. You do need to create new IMAP folders. You can move/copy messages between the IMAP and folders "On My Computer". If you ask specifically to your situation perhaps we can offer advice that will help you. I had a mixture of IMAP and POP and just recently made the switch to all IMAP. Uploading to the server is very time consuming so you might just want to leave the older emails archived and use the switch over to start keeping mail on the server. If you wanted to use both Entourage and Mail, you could have Mail import from Entourage to get all the messages from folders "On My Computer" then when you add the IMAP account, both Entourage and Mail would be in sync. -- Diane -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
