In theory... yes. Lots of servers allow it. But you should check the documentation on your particular server software to see if there's any known bug. > * Will the email account be able to handle this without corruption? Also, in theory, yes. If your server does not have significant bugs. > * If I delete it on my phone (IMAP) will it be deleted and not > downloaded to my PC-Mozilla? It should do so, yes. It's also possible (depending on how your server handles it) that messages that you move to an IMAP folder (other than the inbox) won't be delivered to your POP account. > * If I read it on IMAP will it be marked read when POP downloaded or not > or would It also have to be IMAP downloaded to see this. POP has no concept of "read" messages. So no, even if you have already read the message via IMAP, it would be downloaded again as "unread" via POP. If you want to preserve read status and other flags, you have to use IMAP in both machines. > * Can Thunderbird or Seamonkey's filters, when IMAP downloaded, pull the > e-mail from the IMAP account and move it to an offline account so it > doesn't use up space on the server? Can I do this for messages over a > certain age only? Certainly so for the first one -- you can use a filter to move a message anywhere, including local folders. As to the second... I haven't tried it, but I don't think so. The main reason being that filters usually only apply automatically to *new* messages. An alternative that you might wish to consider is to use the "Archive messages" feature to move old messages from IMAP to your local folders. Run this about once a month, set to archive messages older than three months, and it probably would be enough to keep your IMAP from growing too much. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
