Hi everyone!
Okay, I'm baffled. Thanks to the urging from many of you on this list,
I'm finally making the switch from pop mail to imap. Don't even ask
about life with Thunderbird on my Windows computer! <sigh!> Anyway,
here's the Mac question. Oh, I am running Lion on my MBA. So, I deleted
my pop mail account by hitting VO-space on the remove account button
found in mail preferences. I then closed Mail and just for good measure,
rebooted the computer.
When I opened Mail, the welcome message appeared and it took me through
the questions. Trouble is, there was no question asking me whether I
wanted imap or pop. The first time I went all the way through the set
up, it ended up as imap, but all of my previous mailboxes, messages,
rules and signatures were still there. It didn't synchronize properly in
that the new folders I'd created on the server didn't appear and I ended
up with two sent folders. So I removed the account a second time and
shut down the computer again. But again, in the account creation
dialogs, there was no question about choosing imap or pop. Somehow I get
the feeling it's not really deleting what had been there and I'm ending
up with a bit of a mess. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated at
this point.
After all, this was partly why I was supposed to join the 21st century
and switch to imap, so everything would just automatically appear on all
computers. Hmmm, as I said, all the wisdom here is so much appreciated.
I'll keep searching articles and such to see if I find some miraculous
solution as well.
Thanks again.
Veronica
