Not that I don't appreciate Beth's reference to a way to do this, but I just looked at my Netscape mail folders... and I have literally... HUNDREDs of mail folders and sub folders... is there a less 'manual' way of doing this, other than creating a duplicate folder structure and moving mail messages manually from the POP folders to the IMAP folders ?
I *DO* really really appreciate your help Beth! :-) I'm just trying to get away from the heavy effort of the method you quoted below. Thanks everyone!
