was not

being discontinued on 3/31 but did encourage me to change to IMAP.






POP3 and IMAP are two different protocols (methods) used to access email.

Replying to my own post.

In Windows Explorer, default profile folder, there is an ImapMail folder 
with subfolders for each mail account.  In my imap mail folder there is 
a file named msgFilterRules.dat which contains all my filters.  I would 
first try just copying that file to the new account folder.

From the Yahoo article: 
https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Basics/Switch-from-POP-to-IMAP-account/ta-p/16434


Yahoo Mail POP import discontinued, use IMAP instead

If you're using POP (Post Office Protocol) import to pull emails from 
another email account into Yahoo Mail, we encourage you to connect your 
external account via IMAP import. After March 31, 2017, we will no 
longer support POP import on desktop, as we're retiring the legacy 
system that supports this protocol. Any emails previously imported into 
Yahoo Mail will remain.


So yes, back to Defcon 1, POP is not disappearing but import to POP from 
another account is. Still, the hard sell on IMAP implies folks should 
switch. I agree. IMAP is far superiot to POP3.

Someone in a similar boat asked this question and I responded like so:



If *all* of your email is on the server and nothing is stored locally,
you'll be ok to:

1. Create a new account in Seamonkey that will be your IMAP account with
IMAP server settings.

2. Once the IMAP account is up and running and all looks well, set it as
the Default account.

3. Delete the POP3 account.

Is should be as simple as that. If you do have some mail stored locally,
create a new folder in Local Folder called TEMP or HOLD (or whatever)
and move your local mail there and then go through steps 1, 2 and 3.
When done, just move the mail back from TEMP or HOLD.




Thanks. I'll test the procedure out on my "spare" computer to make sure
it works. Under my current mail account of 50-100 filters, I have 50-100
folders so this could get complicated




Yeah, it would. I'm not sure how to port over the filters to the IMAP account.
Maybe someone could chime in.


Copy the msgFilterRules.dat file, from the POP3 account, to the IMAP account in
your profile.


That takes care of the filters. I would first have to create the corresponding
folders in the IMAP account. Is there any .dat file that holds that information?


In my four Thunderbird's and two SeaMonkey's, I've only copied the 
filters file to my POP3 account after recreating the folders. I get an 
error message if I have forgotten to create a folder and the filter 
can't work.


I've never tried copying the mbox and .msf files from the same folder 
the msgFilterRules.dat is located.


An experiment for another time or day.

But it appears that as pointed out in the other Yahoo thread that it is 
POP import that is being discontinued, so there is no need to set up an 
IMAP account.

That takes care of the filters. I would first have to create the corresponding
folders in the IMAP account. Is there any .dat file that holds that information?

Someone in a similar boat asked this question and I responded like so:



If *all* of your email is on the server and nothing is stored locally,
you'll be ok to:

1. Create a new account in Seamonkey that will be your IMAP account 
with

IMAP server settings.

2. Once the IMAP account is up and running and all looks well, set 
it as

the Default account.

3. Delete the POP3 account.

Is should be as simple as that. If you do have some mail stored 
locally,

create a new folder in Local Folder called TEMP or HOLD (or whatever)
and move your local mail there and then go through steps 1, 2 and 3.
When done, just move the mail back from TEMP or HOLD.




Thanks. I'll test the procedure out on my "spare" computer to make sure
it works. Under my current mail account of 50-100 filters, I have 50-100
folders so this could get complicated





Yeah, it would. I'm not sure how to port over the filters to the IMAP 
account. Maybe someone could chime in.



Copy the msgFilterRules.dat file, from the POP3 account, to the IMAP 
account in your profile.

Why couldn't he just keep the POP3 account, delete the server settings

Yeah, probably fine too. Just leaves the cruft of the old account.
