Hi. Currently have IMAP account with various folders. Need to change to POP account due to space on server.

I understand that POP cannot download the folders, other than the inbox, but is there any work possible around to download these other folders?

You can copy messages from the IMAP server to your Local Folders account. I wouldn't try to copy entire folders, create folders manually instead underneath Local Folders.
