Switching from POP to IMAP How to copy mail back on to the server once a user has downloaded it via POP when convering from POP to IMAP based accounts. To copy mail on to the server, take the following steps: - Create an IMAP account for the user and add this to their email client such as Microsoft Outlook. - The user will now have 2 email accounts listed in their client, 1 POP and 1 IMAP - The user can now drag and drop the messages from the POP account to the IMAP account. - Delete the POP account so the user will only be receiving mail at 1 location. -If the messages need to be copied back to the server for Spam analysis, the message should appear within the BOX\ directory under a folder for that username.
