Converting on mail.app POP account to IMAP? How can I do this?

Hello,
hope someone can help me. I just recently bought a domain name with all its software on GoDaddy. Unfortunaltely I found out, that the POP account offered, does not syncronize my mail between my iMac and iPhone, as Gmail or Yahoo do, these are IMAP accounts... Even though I tried through the mail.app assistent to sent up a new IMAP account, GoDaddy does not allow this. So I called them up, to know why, I would have to purchase an upgrade, to switch from POP to IMAP. My question: is there a way around this purchase? I have read, that many people leave their mail on the server, but would prefer my pop account to work as an IMAP , that is syncronize mail on my iMac and phone. I can not create a new IMAP account, while doing so GoDaddy server will tell me , that I can not connect to their server... What happens if I use the Yahoo server instead? Someone has a clue? Thank you in advanced for your responses. Hug, René

You're trying to do this in the wrong place. This is a bit complicated but I'll try to walk you through it.
First make sure you have a Google Apps account. This sill carry a charge, but I suspect it will be worth it. It is for me. Check here for details and to register: http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/pricing.html.
You will have to choose one of the ways to verify your domain ownership. More details here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60216
Next, you need to go to Godaddy.com. Log in to your account, then click "My Account" at the top of the page (or the equivalent in Spanish).
Click "Domains", then the green "Launch" button to the right of the domain you want to use.
Click the "DNS Zone File" tab
Scroll down to the "MX (Mail Exchanger" section and Google's settings found here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=174125
Once it's all set up, you can set up your imap accounts using Google's settings here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105694
