The conversion facility to transfer a POP3 message to IMAP "should be" nothing more than a drag and drop from one folder to another. I have tested that with our IMAP mail server (MDaemon) and using the IMAP functionality of FastMail. It is seamless. Other IMAP mail servers may be different but this difference is usually caused by (1) the mail server isn't really IMAP compliant and (2) the IMAP server is installed incorrectly. 2. I won't deny speed is an issue with TB. It is slower than I would like but I am hopeful this will be fixed soon. I probably have 50 or so folders spread across multiple IMAP servers and, to-be-honest, I just go get a cup of coffee while TB does its thing. My setting are probably a bit abnormal though, too. It shouldn't be a show-stopper. 3. It is difficult to have it both ways; the benefits of IMAP (centralized message store accessed for anywhere, anytime and on any platform) and the speed of keeping messages on local storage. Hope this helps. -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12 Beta/7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1
