Outlook IMAP to POP

Topic

New Reply

If I have an Outlook [2010] set up as an IMAP account and do local filing — except my sent messages, and then decide to move it over to a POP account, how do I bring down copies of messages that are filed on the host in folders other than the Inbox? I get that when I download my mail all the inbox mail will be retrieved and cleared off the server. But what do I do with other folders?

I’m thinking you can just set up the same account in Outlook twice, one IMAP and one POP3, then copy the messages from the IMAP account to a folder you create in the POP3. You can also export the folders to a PST file, open the file, and copy the mail to your POP3 account.

Cheers,

More to the point, can I drag messages from an IMAP PST folder over to a [different] POP PST?

But will the messages I export [or drag] from, say, the Sent folder, “stay gone”, or will they reappear as the sync with the online account happens?
