Ditto on using TB. Why are you moving them off the IMAP store as that is
what it is designed to do ie store email? My workstation is a caching
mailserver (IMAP store) that collects mail from my ISP POP a/c and
stores it. I read the emails on the 'server'. I have all my folders
under the Inbox in TB and not under local folders.
