Hi I am an avid Seamonkey user. Unfortunately, our University
requires us to use an IMAP server. Seamonkey does that very well but
prefers to be used mostly on its own without any other POP3 email
account/s. If you start out with a POP3 account or two and a good
sized archived directory tree, installing an IMAP account wipes the
POP3 access to the directory tree already installed. Installing an
IMAP account on an already in-use POP3 Seamonkey and IMAP wants to
install another directory tree of its own but denies a POP3 account/s
access to its/their former mail archives directory tree. It seems
apparent that an IMAP account and a POP3 account on the one Seamonkey
installation ensures that the two will not comfortably co-exist. I
haven't tried it with Thunderbird as yet but I presume the same would
apply....?? Ideally, the IMAP account would exist in the same way as
a normal POP3 account and use the same archive directory tree. Also,
It is very hard to find the IMAP new account configurations when
there is a previous POP3 account or two on the one Seamonkey
installation. Why can't we have both and each using the one set of
emails archiving folders? Kind regards, Robert. Amateur Radio (Ham)

I'm a bit confused with just what your issue is.
Can you not simply copy your POP folders to your IMAP account?
I think that's what I did when I changed (years ago, so it's a dim
memory) from POP to IMAP. And I have all my original hierarchy intact.

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody
appreciates how difficult it was.
