Hi, You need to configure this during the account setup process. You cannot simply change the account from POP3 to iMap as far as I know. So, normally, you make sure first that your eMail provider supports iMap for your account. It would be very unlikely that they don't, but it's worth a check. If they do support iMap and it is enabled for your account, then just go through the Add eMail account process on your Mac making sure to select iMap during the process. You can have both an iMap and a POP3 account going at the same time if you wish. I would only do that temporarily though while you verify that everything is working properly and if you wish to create mail folders and such for the iMap version of the account. You can move messages from one account to the other as well if you need to populate the iMap account with saved messages stored locally on your Mac.
HTH. Later...

I create the account but no where does it let me select whether it is imap or pop. It just automatically sets it as pop. Does anyone know how I might change this?
