Hi Andy, you have to delete the old account and then create it again using 
IMAP. Most of the time you can’t just change the email account type 
unfortunately.

Subject: [access-uk] Changing from pop3 to imap

Hi all -

I now know the details I need to make this change. However, When I look at the 
current mail account, on the servers page, it doesn't allow me to change the 
pop3 to imap. What I mean by that is that I can change the server mane to 
imap.plus.net, but in the server type box, pop3 is showing, and it says it is a 
read only box, even though JAWS says "read only edit."

So, now when I try to receive mail, I get an error, because the default server 
is showing as pop3 but the actual server address is imap. How can I make that 
read only box available for editing, so I can change it to read imap? I've 
changed the incoming port, so that should be ok. Needless to say, sending mail 
still works ok -

Andy
