POP3 to IMAP Converter

I am looking for a POP3 to IMAP converter app (something comparable to "Outlook Connector"). Live Hotmail is POP3, but I want to use either macmail, Outlook, or Thunderbird, and have all subfolders transfer.
Does anyone know of a third party app?
Thanks

So what you're after is a way to access your local emails via IMAP as you can only access them right now via POP3?
In that case, assuming you have a machine that has a permanent internet connection you could look at MailServe for Snow Leopard. It can be configured to pull emails down via POP3 and then you're essentially running an email server off your machine. The program is just a GUI for pre-existing applications that OS X Server uses and are also present in the client version. Combine it with a DynDNS URL and have the machine also perform the duties of a DNS server and it's a complete system for handling all your email via IMAP.

Instructions for converting from POP3 to IMAP in Outlook 2010

I have been using Outlook a POP3 Google Apps (Gmail) account for a long time. I have never used IMAP but am intrigued by the synchronization that accompanies IMAP. Since I often use my email from the Gmail web app away from my Outlook installation,
IMAP seems like the way to go. So I would like to convert my existing POP3 account to an IMAP account.
1- Can you point me to step-by-step instructions on how to do this?
2 - Will all my PST folders and email automatically sync to the Gmail servers?
3 - what problems can I expect to encounter and how do I avoid them?
Thanks for your time and advice.

No, you cannot "convert" an account from POP3 to IMAP.
You'll need to remove the current POP3 account (this will not delete any data) and then add the IMAP account. This will create an additional folder set which is required for the synching of the IMAP account (it will mimic the folder structure of the
IMAP account).
If there are messages in your local folder which are not on the IMAP server, you can move them manually to a folder in the IMAP account.
Before you start to reorganize your data, it is recommended that you start with a good backup of your Outlook data so that you can easily restore it in case something goes wrong. For instructions see;

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
under accts, select add account
select "other"
new screen, choose "add mail account"
now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
hit next
then the acct verifies
when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone. The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

POP3 and IMAP Won't Start - Dovecot error 89

I have been struggling with what should be a simple problem all day: turning the mail server on!
This is a clean out of the box start. I bought a new Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server.
POP3 and IMAP services will not start and Dovecot repeatedly reports the following (no more detail anywhere that I can find):

I've managed to get Dovecot working on a Centos server but the generally simple configuration on the Mac has me dumbfounded.
Any help is appreciated whilst I still retain my sanity.
Thanks

OK. I managed to solve this problem.
When the mail server is first initialised SSL certification for dovecot is set to on but the certificates are all commented out in the configuration file.
To determine this is the problem, turn the mail server off then at the command line start the server by entering the following command:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/doveconf -f service=master -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf -m master -p -e
This is the output I received:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/dovecotd -F
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set
Edit the file /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf:
sudo vi /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf
You can do one of two things:
1) Edit the line #ssl = yes to:
ssl = no
2) Uncomment the ssl_cert, ssl_key and ssl_ca lines
Now restart the mail server and check the logs for dovecot error 89 (shouldn't be there) and/or at ther command line enter the command:
sudo serveradmin fullstatus mail
This will display the mail server status which should be something like this (note pop3 and imap now running):
mail:setStateVersion = 1
mail:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
mail:connectionCount = 0
mail:servicePortsRestrictionInfo = _empty_array

Lumia 800 - pop3 and imap

Anybody setup a POP3 account on the phone and find that it works 100% like an IMAP setting? POP3 traditionally does not synchronise backwards, i.e. you download message to phone and leave original on server, delete off phone, it stays on the server. However in their wisdom it seems that not only can you NOT switch easily between a POP3 and IMAP account setting (you need to delete the account and then reinstall it), it also has defaulted that the POP3 setting, is the EXACT same as an IMAP.
Am I missing something? Granted this is only my 5th smartphone and 50th time I have set the same account up, but yeah must definately be me, as a company like Nokia would of checked their programs before giving it out... right?
Any assistance, including proving that it is me stuffing it up, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
LUCH

Hi LUCHlumia800,
Thanks for your feedback and welcome to the forum.
What you describe is not really what is different between POP and IMAP. POP actually does allow for syncing back to the server and remove mail there once deleted on the client. Actually POP can (optionally) be configured to either remove from server when removed on the client or remove from server once fetched. While these options are available implementation is not compulsory.
IMAP on the other hand basically mirrors the server and client sides so whatever happens on one side also happens on the other including adding or removing folders.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

Changing Mail Account from POP3 to IMAP

I have to change hosts for my domain and primary e-mail address, and as long as I need to recreate my account, I’d like to change it from POP3 to IMAP. How would I change the account settings in Mail so that all my previous e-mails aren’t deleted when I change protocols? Thanks.

As I don't know whether what you want to do is possible or not, I would rather create a new account with the new settings and copy the emails from the old one to the new one (I think this will keep email dates correct). Then, after verifying that the new one works OK, I would delete the old one.

Exchange 2013 POP3 and IMAP connectivity issues 0x800CCC0F

Hi all,
there's an Exchange 2013 server running without problems during "regular" use, but when it comes to POP3 and/or IMAP (we really need that for some systems), everything is fine until there's a message with an attachment of about 100kb or more.
We can poll messages with smaller attachments without problem, but bigger sizes won't work.
So for testing I tried POP3 within Outlook Express, it gives Error 0x800CCC0F
Telnet to TCP110 simply breaks up the connection when I try "retr"
IMAP shows those messages as "to be deleted", but they are accesible within OWA.
Test-PopConnectivity (also for IMAP) runs smoothly and successfully.
Firewall is opened for all connections.
Problem is and has always been there. The server is updated to the newest SP/updates.
I tried both 110/143 and corresponding SSL - no difference.
Pop3 and Imap logging shows no errors
There's Trend Micro Messaging Security installed, but has been disabled for testing - no difference. (Issue has been there before installation of TM)
So, any ideas how to fix this? I'd appreciate...
Thanks in advance,
Robert

How to get mail from POP3S or IMAPS server

I have problem to get mail from pop3s or imaps potocol by javamail api.
Help me please!

Nokia messaging. pop3 or imap?

Hi,
what is the difference between pop3 and imap? Which is the best for Nokia Messaging? Thanks.

POP3 only allows you to see your Inbox, IMAP allows you to see all your folders.
POP3 doesn't allow push e-mail, IMAP does (if IMAP IDLE is supported).
Nokia Mail is Nokia Mail, you set up your account using the wizard and what appears works, supposedly. Really it's IMAP IDLE running on Yahoo's servers.
Nokia Messaging is a service set up on Nokia's servers which polls POP3 and IMAP mailboxes and pushes updates to the phone. Good points: It's Nokia's most supported option (meaning if you set up a direct connection to a POP3 or IMAP mailbox and it doesn't work, Nokia will tell you to accept the terms and conditions and use Nokia messaging). Bad points are an always-on connection draining the battery and privacy (Nokia keeps a copy of your passwords and repeatedly logs into your mailboxes with no encryption).

Converting from Pop3 to Imap in Mail

When I got my MBP, I did not have access to IMAP email and set it up via pop3. Now I have an iPhone, iPad and my email is available via IMAP. I would like to change to IMAP and have the same look from any device.
However, I also use Contactizer (CRM type app) that links all my emails from addresses in the database. These are, in Mail, all saved "ON MY MAC".
It appears I need to delete the Pop3 and rebuild the email with IMAP. Is there any other way?
If I do that, how do I save all the sent emails and all those in the folders I have built? I can not afford to lose any emails.
Any suggestions?

Create folders in your "On My Mac" mailbox (use the Mailbox - New Mailbox menu, and choose "On MY Mac" as the location) and move all the mail you want to save into there - you can create as many folders as you need. Don't forget any mail in Inbox and Sent. Then delete the POP account and recreate it as IMAP. You can then move your On My Mac folders into your IMAP server folder.

What is POP3 / SMTP / IMAP / SSL / TCP-IP / HTTP / HTTPs ?

Hi Experts.
Can anybody tell me about the following questions.
What is POP3 ?
What is IMAP ?
What is SMTP ?
What is SSL encryption ?
What is TCP-IP connection ?
what is HTTP ?
What is difference in HTTP:// and HTTPs:// ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-=Soniya.=-

Hi,
POP3: This is stands for Post Office Protocol this is part of mail inbox configuration, based on POP3 configuration mail will be reach to inbox from out side.
IMAP: This is stands for Internet Message Access Protocol, it is one of protocol for internet data transfer
SMTP: This is stands for Simple Mail Transport Protocol, it is outbox mail configuration, based on SMTP configuration mail will be send to target system
SSL: This is stands for Secure Socket Layer, this is mainly used to transfer data between two system in secure way. In this configuration we can provide security in transport (https) & message level (encryption & decryption)
TCP-IP: This is stands for Transmission Control Protocol-Internet Protocol, it is for using internet & intranet. This protocol will support most of all network.
HTTP: This is stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol, this protocol convert data to XML format and send across internet & intranet.
What is difference in HTTP:// and HTTPs:// ?
HTTP & HTTPs main difference is security, http we don't have any security in message transport but HTTPs by default provide security in transport level & message level using digital certificates
I hope now clear

What is POP, POP3, and IMAP When I Setup My Email Account in the HP ePrint App?

I have done as much research as I can do in regards to setting up the HP ePrint App Email Accounts. If you do not see your email information listed here, feel free to post it below or contact your internet service provider, phone or email company, or whomever else that might know this. I am certain there are many more that could be added but this is a rather extensive list. I hope you find what you need to finish setting up your email applications.
I have noticed information differs from website to website but as I have learned over time, with domain masking and companies buying out other companies, I just researched all the information I could find and that way if one of the hostnames or ports don’t work, then you can continue to view further into this page to see if that information is the same. At that point, if you can’t find what you need here, I would say you have done all that you can do before contacting the appropriate support team for your email information.
Most of the links are active and the ones listed below should send you directly the pages I pulled this information from but only a few of them were from the actual support sites themselves (Apple support was vague, as well as Microsoft, Macintosh, and commonly used ISPs). Save yourself some time by searching here first. I hope you find what you need in this one-stop-shop and if you get an email address not listed here please post it below and I will add it to this original document.
Lastly, as this information is from forum-based and other unofficial websites, I would like to add that this is a copy/paste/edit-for-easy-reading document I created in my spare time. This is a very long document so I do recommend using the search and find quick keys to search for the email you need but the top part of this has definitions as to what servers, ports, and hostnames are and the basic setup in case you need to know what these options are used for and what they mean.
Below are the most common settings needed to set up most POP3/IMAP Email Clients or Devices:
The following information below can be found at http://www.swestcom.com/Support/q4.htm
“What is POP3?
Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard mail protocol used to receive emails from a remote server to a local email client. POP3 allows you to download email messages on your local computer and read them even when you are offline."
"What is IMAP?
The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a mail protocol used for accessing email on a remote web server from a local client. IMAP and POP3 are the two most commonly used Internet mail protocols for retrieving emails. Both protocols are supported by all modern email clients and web servers."
"Main difference between IMAP and POP3:
The POP3 protocol assumes that there is only one client connected to the mailbox. In contrast, the IMAP protocol allows simultaneous access by multiple clients. IMAP is suitable for you if your mailbox is about to be managed by multiple users."
"What is SMTP?
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard protocol for sending emails across the Internet. SMTP uses TCP port 25 or 2525 and sometimes you can have problems to send your messages in case your ISP has closed port 25 (How to check if port 25 is open?). To determine the SMTP server for a given domain name, the MX (Mail eXchange) should have more information."
"When setting up:
POP - choose POP and the incoming server port will default to 110
IMAP - choose IMAP and the incoming server port will default to 143
All other settings are the same.
Username = [email protected]
Password = the password you set up when you configured your mail box
Incoming Mail Server = mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing Mail Server= smtp.yourdomain.com
Outgoing Server Requires Authentication (typically found in advanced options or settings)
Do NOT check "Log on Using Secure Password Authentication"
Use the same Username and Password as Incoming or select "Use Same Settings as Incoming"
Outgoing Server Port= 2525 or 587This is subject to change based on the individual preferences of your ISP"
Note - Substitute your actual domain name for "yourdomain.com" and substitute the first part of your email address for "user."
Email Ports
For networks, a port means an endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. Here are the default email ports for:
POP3 - port 110
IMAP - port 143
SMTP - port 25
HTTP - port 80
Secure SMTP (SSMTP) - port 465
Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL) - port 585
IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993
Secure POP3 (SSL-POP) - port 995.

In the Security type drop down menu and Server port text box, specify the SMTP settings that you located in step 5, and click Next.
In the Account name, text box, enter a name for your account (for example “Office 365 email” or “Work email”). In the Your name text box, enter the name you want displayed when you send e-mail to others (for example “Tony Smith”), and then select Finish Setup.
What else do I need to know?
If your e-mail account is the type that requires registration, you must register it the first time you sign in to Outlook Web App. Connecting to your e-mail account through a mobile phone will fail if you haven't registered your account through Outlook Web App. After you sign in to your account, sign out. Then try to connect using your mobile phone. For more information about how to sign in to your account using Outlook Web App, see How to Sign In to Your E-Mail Using a Web Browser. If you have trouble signing in, see FAQs: Sign-in and Password Issues or contact the person who manages your e-mail account.

The following information is according to a forum comment at the bottom of this webpage concerning HOTMAIL and mail server settings:
“As other web based email services, Hotmail is using the HTTP protocol for connecting you to your mailbox. If you want to send and receive Hotmail emails using an email client software, then your software must support Hotmail HTTP access for your email account. Some email clients, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, offer builtin support for Hotmail accounts, so you only have to select HTTP when you are asked to select your email account type and select Hotmail as the HTTP Mail Service Provider.”
Mail Server Settings for Hotmail using the Microsoft Outlook Connector
If you are using Microsoft Outlook & the Outlook Connector, you can define your Hotmail account just like any regular POP3 email account:
Hotmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3 . live. com  (logon using Secure Password Authentification - SPA, mail server port: 995)
Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) -smtp . live . com (SSL enabled, port 25)
Additional information from this website has not been confirmed or validated as of yet but it does include additional information or perhaps corrected information. If the above steps do not fix the problem with setting up an email account for the HP Apps then read on:
Yahoo! Mail Settings
Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
· Google GMail Settings
The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)

The outgoing mail server needs SSL support, so make sure your email client software supports SSL connections over the SMTP protocol.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

Problems when I changed from POP3 to IMAP in Mail

When using POP3 protocol on my Mac I was able to have a sound played to let me know when new mail came in. Since I switched to IMAP protocol, I can't seem to make that happen.
I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and using the Mail program for our email. I also have an iPhone and an iPad and saw that using the POP3 protocol, when I read/delete my mail on one of the devices I have to repeat the same actions on all of the devices to keep them in sync. I was advised that using the IMAP protocol on all of the devices would keep the mail in sync on all of them, so I switched. That's when the sound stopped playing for newly received email.
I tried defining a rule that says play sound when specific conditions are met, but it is working counterintuitively (i.e. when I am sending a message but not when a new one comes in.)
Clearly, I am missing something. Is there a setting somewhere that allows me to have a sound played whenever a new piece of mail comes in? Looking for the support of the community on this one. Thanks in advance.

You need to make sure you have the correct settings in the mail servers: incoming and outgoing. Make sure they are imap server settings and not POP servers. You will have to check them on all devices. If it's POP on the other devices, it will not sync with IMAP.

Lost mail after POP to IMAP convertion

Help, When I converted from POP to IMAP all my former mails dissapeard. Where can I find them? My POP account is gone in the list.

Hello:
I do not know what you did when you "converted."
You should know that most POP mail applications download the mail to your device and then delete it from the server.
Hopefully you have a backup of your system before you did whatever you did.

Migrating exchange 2003 to 2010 while everyone is running SMTP, POP3 and IMAP on the old exchange 2003

Hi all
We have a legacy Exchange 2003 running with more than 800 users and with a very mixed configuration for client access. Most of users are running POP3/SMTP on the Exchange, some are running IMAP/SMTP and some are running MAPI access.
Please note that THERE IS NO WAY that we move all users to MAPI access before the installation (due to deadlines).
We plan to install a new Exchange 2010, starting with a CAS/HUB server. We do not need to migrate users automatically, and we can proceed later to move them individually to the new Exchange 2010 infrastructure in a non-transparent way.
More importantly, we need to maintain that everyone receives their e-mail and all communication through the exchange 2003 continues uninterrupted.
My question is can we install the new CAS/HUB server, while maintaining the old exchange server running with it's old name and create new names for the CAS/HUB server. In such a configuration, will all the Exchange 2003 services continue to run as usual
(POP3/IMAP/SMTP/MAPI)?

In addition, you may also spend some times at below mentioned helpful resources to check the prerequisites before moving all mailboxes from exchange 2003 to 2010 :
http://exchangeserverpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Exchange-Server-2003-to-2010-Migration-Guide-V1.3-Planning-Chapter.pdf

https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/upgrade-exchange-2003-to-exchange-2010/
Moreover, to avoid any interruption during the completion of migration process, you can also take a look at this application(http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that could be a good alternate approach
for you.
