Vista - Multiple e-mail accounts POP3 & IMAP

3 Weeks Ago

Hi,

I've been running 3 e-mail accounts (two businesses & one personal) on POP3,
which I'd combined together into single inbox/sent items/drafts/junk folders
in Local Folders.

I've had to migrate to IMAP for the two business accounts, but kept POP3 for
my personal G-mail account - and I can't see anyway of bringing either the
two IMAP accounts (or ideally) all three accounts into a single set of
folders.

Anyone know how this can be done?

Many thanks.

That's not possible. IMAP accounts always have individual
account folders. The idea is that the IMAP account is a mirror
image of the folder structure that exists on the server.
