Go to Tools/Accounts/Mail/that account , and delete it. Make a NEW mail account with the same settings, but this time make it as an IMAP account. When the IMAP server and folders appear in the Folder list (immediately after clicking OK), click on it, or on its INBOX. You will see immediately if it is the type of IMAP account where other folders are all folders of the INBOX, or are at the same level as the INBOX. Create any new folders other than the standard existing ones there that you may need. (If any standard ones that "should be" there aren't, click on the server icon. In the big window pane you may see those folders dimmed. If so, click on them and click the Subscribe button. Check this before you add any new folders.) Now go into the local folders where all the messages downloaded. You can Move them or Copy them to the server. To Move them, select all of them in a folder (command-A) and click the Move button in the toolbar, select "Move to folder.." in the dropdown that appears, and select the equivalent IMAP folder. Repeat for each folder. To Copy them, shift-click two messages no more than about 500 messages or so apart to select just ~500 messages. The number selected will appear in bottom LH corner of the main window. If you have far too many (1000) reduce the number selected. Now drag the selection to the equivalent IMAP folder to copy. Repeat until done. Repeat for each folder. Now that everything's back on the server, I'd strongly recommend that your friend keep the account as an IMAP account, which is much more versatile. He can always copy messages to local folders if he wishes, and can even do that automatically by setting up an IMAP Rule (Tools/Rules/IMAP) to do it for him. (If he insists on reverting to POP, which would be silly, he can delete the IMAP account and set it up as POP again, this time selecting "Leave messages on server".He'll get duplicates of every message he's already downloaded the last time, of course.) -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
