I have 100 filters for 100 folders using POP3. The only way I can see

all of this to IMAP is to create an IMAP account and then manually
create the
100 filters and manually create the 100 folders and then manually
copy/move the
email from the POP3 account to IMAP account.
How many weeks/months would it take me to do that? If someone comes up
with a
program where I could automagically create the folders and
automagically create
the filters and copy 27000 emails from my POP3 account to a new IMAP
account
while keeping my current email address, I would convert to IMAP in a
minute.
I don't think the Export/Import add-on can do this but it would great
if it could.
I had to do this a couple of years ago. As I recall, I just
Ctrl-clicked folders in the POP account to select them and copied via
Ctrl-click-drag to the new IMAP account. Then waited a couple of hours
while SeaMonkey uploaded everything to the server, folders and their
contents.
Filters are another issue...

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.
