(The folder structure (sent mail, to be specific) did not replicate in the POP account on my phone. (A) I tried it on my iPhone 6s running most current OS with a test email account and it didnt work.
These users want to be able to access email on multiple devices at any givem tiem, sometimes at the same time. The new hosting co gave me a link to this thread as a guide for setting up the POP accounts. After a few support chats, I was told turns out that folder can only be copied into a POP mail account. I’ve 2 e-mail accounts (per user) in Thunderbird and have copied all emails to the new hosting co – EXCEPT…the Sent mail folder. Hey gang, I’m trying to move from one hosting company to another. You should now have the knowledge and know-how to switch your mail client from using either POP3 or IMAP as your preferred email retrieving protocol. You’ll get a confirmation window pop-up asking if you’re sure you want to remove the account, just click OK. On the Account Settings window, click on Account Actions and then Remove Account.Right-click on the POP3 account and click on Settings…
If you attempt to login to webmail at this point, you’ll see there are no messages stored on the server for this account.

Now back on the Account Settings window, click on the newly created account, and update the Account Name to append (IMAP) on the end, so we know which account is which easily, then click OK.Now select IMAP (remote folders) and click Done.Here you can see in Thunderbird that I have a account currently setup to use a POP Mail Server or POP3.While IMAP might be more convenient for how you check email, because all of your messages get left on the server instead of your local mail client it could potentially lead to IMAP resource usage problems. You just need to create a new IMAP account in your mail client, then drag any messages from your old POP3 account into the IMAP account if you’d like to retain them and remove the POP3 account. Switching a POP3 account to IMAP allows you to keep messages on the server, and to synchronize them to multiple IMAP clients. You’ll get a confirmation window pop-up asking if you’re sure you want to remove the account, just click OK.Right-click on the IMAP account and click on Settings… Now you’ll want to remove your IMAP account from Thunderbird to ensure that it doesn’t keep trying to make a duplicate connection to the server, since your POP3 account is already going to connect and retrieve your email.Now if you login to webmail, you’ll see all those messages have been removed from the server. You can select one of the messages from your IMAP account, then hit Ctrl-A to select all messages, then drag them into your POP3 account to move these messages off the server.If you attempt to login to webmail at this point, you’ll see these same messages stored there. At this point you can now see that our original IMAP account has 5 messages in it, and these are stored on the server.Now back on the Account Settings window, click on the newly created account, and update the Account Name to append (POP3) on the end, so we know which account is which easily, then click OK.Now select POP3 (keep mail on your computer) and click Done.Fill in your email account settings, then click Continue.Click on Account Actions and then Add Mail Account….In Thunderbird navigate to Tools > Account Settings.Here you can see in Thunderbird that I have a account currently setup to use an IMAP Mail Server.If you’re having IMAP resource usage problems switching an IMAP account to POP3 is a great solution!
