Dear Ken,

K> My main business account Inbox came back empty (from the IMAP to
K> Pop conversion?)

Hang on a minute... I didn't think there was such a thing. The
instructions for the upgrade were always to convert IMAP accounts to
POP *before* upgrading. This was known not to work during the
process of an upgrade. At least, that's how it was during beta
testing.

K> Both this account and my business account showed up as IMAP -

K> converted to POP.

K> The upgrade procedure STINKS.

This may be true, but we were always told to do the conversion
manually before upgrading. There is no transition from v1 IMAP to v2
IMAP. I don't know what happened to that advice and why it's not in
the standard v2 upgrade procedure.

K> PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

... as I (or anyone) would expect.

K> No so on the desktop where I tried to upgrade.

K> What a shame...

Indeed.

This may indeed work, but make sure you switch the accounts to POP3
first and backup the messages you want to keep safe from any IMAP
accounts.
