You can choose to download headers or full copies of emails. IMAP is very different, emails are stored on server and imap account folders synchronise with server folders to display what is on server. Then remove the pop account via Account Settings - select pop account, click on 'Account Actions' and select 'Remove account'.Ĭreate a new Existing Mail account and set it up as an IMAP mail account. You would need to get copies of all emails that are currently in the pop account copied into suitable folders in the 'Local Folders' mail account - you could always delete them later if you find you have duplicates.

You cannot simply swap the server settings to change a pop into an imap. Or just log on to webmail and read junk emails in situ. Log onto webmail and mark email as not junk/spam to get it into the Inbox, then in Thunderbird click on 'Get Messages' to download. It's impossible to switch off the server spam filter, so if server decides it's spam then it gets moved.ġ. This means if the server decides something is junk/spam and moves it out of the Inbox to another folder on server, there is no way a POP account can know it exists.Īll pop accounts will have a 'Junk' folder and any email received in the 'Inbox' that is determined as junk either by Thunderbird's Junk settings or by a Message Filter you created or by a manual mark as Junk will move it to the pop account Junk folder as per Account Settings > Junk Settings.

It is normal to download from server Inbox and the emails on server are deleted, but there are settings which you can use to 'keep messages on the server' and many people use those settings. Pop accounts do not synchronises any folder with server which means the server Inbox can look entirely different from the pop account Inbox. Pop accounts do not have access to any other folder on the server. This is how all pop accounts work no matter what email client is used. If you have a POP mail account then Thunderbird can only access and download emails from the server Inbox.
