I can't understand what you are asking. What is a "local account?" All accounts have an ISP, right? So I don't know what a "local" account is.
Where are these "10+ years of mails" and which direction are you trying to avoid transferring them? On your machine, or at your ISP? If they are at your ISP, why can't you use webmail to delete or archive them if you don't want to transfer them to your machine? > On Apr 28, 2017, at 8:02 PM, Jean-Christophe Helary > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm using sierra and it looks like the possibility to choose between a POP > and an IMAP account when creating a local account doesn't exist anymore... > > I've set the POP forwarding things in gmail but it doesn't seem to make any > difference... > > Any idea how to do that? > > Jean-Christophe > > ps: the reason why I don't want to recreate the thing as IMAP is that I don't > want to download 10+ years of mails on my machine...
