Transferring old emails into an IMAP server may not not the best
approach. You can still access any local folders via your AppleMail,
or you might transition to a mail archiving utility for old messages,
e.g. MailSteward.
I want to bring some of my legacy emails (mainly years- or
decades-long correspondence with friends) into MailMate so I can use
MailMate’s search functionality on them.
If you have good enough upload bandwidth, add the IMAP server
to Apple Mail and move your POP mail folders from your old
account to the new IMAP account. If you're short on disk space for
email, at this point delete the account from Apple Mail. When you
point MailMate at the new IMAP server, it will pick up the folder
structure and all of the mails. When you're happy with that, delete
the Apple Mail account if you haven't already done so, to free up
the space used by those duplicate messages.
