Anyway, How do I "see" the messages on the server so that I can select them and drag & drop??? When I click on Get new mail (or Connect to Server), I get the Connection Center; but no activity, no messsages, no downloading. Then it time out. [I logged onto its webmail; and there are a few messages there.] In "Manage IMAP Folders", for the Inbox, I have a check mark in "Subscribe"; and "do not synchronize". I still don't know how to get to see the messages on the server. > 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.
