Hi [EMAIL PROTECTED],

If at all possible, yes. If you want POP3 like behaviour, then POP3 is the way to go. TB! works a whole lot better with POP3 accounts.
1. First I need to know how to move the messages from the server to my PC. How do I do that?
Make a local folder, i.e., a common folder or a folder in a TB! POP account. Select all the messages in the IMAP account, then drag and drop them to the local folders.
Sometimes this doesn't go smoothly and exporting the IMAP messages to file and then importing them to the local folders makes the better option.
2. What is the filter for all messages -- *.* ?? And I guess I delete the messages under the Action tab?
You could create a filter that matches 'e' in the headers. This will catch all messages. Have the message moved to the local folder and then deleted.
3. Then how to set a filter for further filtering the incoming messages to other folders/accounts? Or is #2 and #3 are just one filter?
You need a separate filter for each destination account and folder in which case, you'd need to be more selective with your string matching.
The Bat created the default folders when the account was created. And I added a few. Must the folders in TheBat match exactly with the folders on the server? [I really don't want these other folders on the server -- even if they are all empty.]
Once you create a folder in TB! for your IMAP account, you've created one on the server. Right click the IMAP account and select 'Manage IMAP folders', or just hit Alt-F7. There you'll see all folders on the server. If you create a folder in TB!, you've created the same folder on the server and autosubscribed to it.
Separately, this IMAP4 account did not port over well when I switch over from v1.x to v2.x. So I had to delete the old and create a new account with IMAP4 protocol. And I copy over the messages.tbl and .tbi. However, v2 is not displaying all the messages. How can I get it to display messages in that account?
I'm not sure about that. Try the 'Manage IMAP folders' to see what's on the server and subscribe to all the folders that are there.
