Hi. I use Mail version 4.3 and I've had a POP account since I began
using the internet in 1992.

I'm interested in changing my account to IMap, but I have some questions.

I use Mail's Rules extensively and have ten Smart Folders and about 30
more folders into which my mail is automatically filtered. Will the
Rules still work with IMap?

Also, I use MailTags, which allows me to add tags and categories to my
mail. According to their website, MailTags is not compatible with
Gmail's version of IMap. Can anyone recommend a different IMap provider
to try?

Thanks a lot.

Yes.

I assume you want something free, like Gmail? I don't think Hotmail or
Yahoo Mail offer IMAP or POP as part of their free services, you have to
upgrade to their paid premiere services to get anything other than
webmail.

Does your ISP offer IMAP?

Then you're stuck with POP unless you use another ISP or email service
that does offer IMAP.

E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.
