Thanks. That is indeed the exact article I have been using for this switch from pop to IMAP. I think you shared the link a long time ago and I had it bookmarked for when I had the time to tackle this. It has been very helpful. I had understood from the article that all my folders from my mac would sync over to gmail and all my gmail folders would sync over to apple mail like magic. I did not find anything in the article that actually said this but it sounded like that's how iMAP works. This is not what happened for me at all. None of my apple mail folders migrated over to gmail. I wasn't even sure if I was supposed to move my folders to the gmail folder at the bottom of my mailbox list in the sidebar. Is that what I'm supposed to do? I am having my ten year old do the drag and drop for me since I have no idea how to do that via the keyboard and VO.
Thanks for replying. I truly appreciate it. Christina C. On Jul 16, 2012, at 9:52 PM, Darcy Burnard wrote: > Hi Christina.
