Hello,

I have a lot of POP accounts in TB that I need to convert to IMAP (cause my provider has now ceased POP support completely), and I'd like to know if it's possible convert an existing POP account to an IMAP *avoiding* the creation of a parallel new IMAP account as it's suggested in FAQ. The problem is that in these POP accounts I have a lot of mails (30 GB) and a lot o rules created in years that I have to rebuild from scrath if I need to create a new IMAP account of every POP that I have now.

Thanks in advance :-)

The short answer is you can not. Some 10 years ago we wrote those support articles because it was not possible. Nothing has changed in that regard and it is unlikely to ever change.
