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?

I'm also confused.
I have both POP and IMAP accounts on this computer and they do just
great together. I had two POP accounts then added IMAP. The only real
changes I had to make was to define the SMTP server for each account and
change the default account. Other than that they do all keep separate
(no one in basket). If you come from Eudora days this separation may
seem odd, but once you get used to it then the accounts are kept cleaner
with less filtering shenanigans.
That said IMAP support on Seamonkey is poor at best. Lots of bugs and
issues with attachments, refreshing, hung folders, deleting, etc.
Thunderbird (which I use at home) is no better.
