I want to change from POP3 to IMAP. I have a lot of emails and folders. Can I just do a backup and reinstall as IMAP, then restore?
I want to change from POP3 to IMAP.
To do that, you go to “Menu / Accounts” and add your same account “as a separate IMAP account” in eM Client, either via the automatic account wizard or via add account / mail / other depending on what your provider supports, and then drag / move all your POP account messages and any custom POP message folders to your new IMAP account.
You can see when all the messages and message folders have been all moved over to the IMAP account, via clicking the dropdown on the right of Refresh and then clicking Show Operations.
Then once you are certain all the messages are all showing in the your IMAP account, then remove your old POP account.
Note: Before doing anything, make a manual backup eM Client via “Menu / Backup” incase you need to restore for any reason. You can see when the backup is complete via clicking the dropdown arrow on the right of Refresh at the top left, & then clicking Show Operations.
