Hi Ricardo, I just checked, and my email provider does offer IMAP, but, I'm not sure how this will help me. What I need to do is save, or backup all my existing email messages that are currently located on my hard drive in Apple Mail. Is there a way using IMAP to upload all these messages back to my provider's server? Thanks, Russell On 2012-07-24, at 5:07 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Hi, > > Does your e-mail provider offer IMAP?
