By side-by-side, do you mean just have both the POP and IMAP accounts up and just dragging and dropping emails into the IMAP account? Could I drag and drop a folder?

Hi there,<br />
<br />
Our users are going to switch from having POP accounts to having IMAP accounts. What is the best way to transfer ALL mail folders in Outlook that they have on their local machines to the IMAP server?<br />
<br />
Is there a sync or upload option? I've never worked with IMAP accounts.<br />
<br />
Thank you,

Transferring from POP to IMAP

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Email Software

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
