The conversion process is part of the install for v2. A message box comes up, reporting that IMAP folder will be created as POP.

When you say "we were always told" what are you referring to? I may have missed that memo. > There is no transition from v1 IMAP to v2 IMAP. Right. That fact is established. But there is a transition process during v2 install that converts IMAP accounts to POP. If that doesn't work, why not just pop up a window that says: "Please convert all IMAP account to POP so that The Bat doesn't screw your message base up, cause you to unistall, and revert to your backup." > I don't know what happened to that advice and why it's not in the > standard v2 upgrade procedure. It sounds like I missed this advice. K>> When I stripped all things Bat from my laptop and did a clean K>> install of v2, everything seems to be doing OK. > ... as I (or anyone) would expect. Oh come on... to say "everything seems to be doing OK" is completely relative. Your response was either in jest, or naive and myopic. Surely you haven't missed the numerous problems with v2.....?

Will do.
