I am saying that is what I have done. The difference is, the IMAP has different server/port numbers than the POP.
POP settings is: SMTP: 587 POP:110 Server: server-tx.rr.com *note: my ISP wants me to change the server to new server, which would be: mail.twc.com for both SMTP/POP but when I do, the nasty window's credentials window pops up wanting me to log in and just will not go away, I have to alt tab away from that window. Mail comes in for awhile, then it seems to hiccup. The IMAP settings are as follows: as for SMTP: 587 and as for POP: 143 server: mail.twc.com Now I embarked on this maddness because it would seem settings on other non-window's systems had some errors within settings. The SMTP was showing 993 with SSL checked, but that number does not match the required settings for POP/IMAP based on what my ISP tells me. I can live with the pop new settings if that annoying window's credentials window would not rear it's ugly head. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Robbins To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 9:30 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] email accounts setting Trish, So, you are saying you have an IMAP and a POP 3 account set up for the same email address on the same computer? I have never heard of this, although that is not saying it can't be done, and unless you are using separate email clients and/or identities within the same client I don't understand how it can happen. That said, and this is just my opinion, I think once you delete that POP 3 account, those folders are gone and not accessible through IMAP.

I am aware of the differences of mailbox’s vrs folders and what is available via each deviceI have the IMAP setup on those devices. I presently have both IMAP and POP setup still on the window’s 7 laptop. What I need to know is, if I delete the “POP” email account, can I still access my “POP” folders on this computer?

To say another way, my primary account with road runner is POP 3 because I share with my wife on two separate computers at home. However the folders she has on her computer and the ones I have on mine are different. Now, when we travel, I can get our mail on my IPhone for that account but it is IMAP as the phone will not let me setup POP 3. So the only thing I see on the phone that is the same as on home PC is inbox. Does this answer your question? The easiest way to understand this is IMAP folders, info, etc. is maintained at the ISP server; POP 3 folders etc. you create are on the local device that created them.

This was necessary for other devices with email functions that required IMAP accounts. I can deal with this type of account as long as my existing email folders I created using the POP account are still available to access, if anyone can tell me that 1M questions, would make me happy.
