even mail from other accounts?
Authored by: sdrubbins on Fri, Dec 21 2007 at 12:37PM PST

So let me get this straight before I go messing with my mailboxes. Can I:

1) use Mail with 2 POP3 accounts, say earthlink and gmail;

2) switch the gmail over to IMAP seamlessly

3) drag old, locally saved POP3 gmail messages, which had been deleted from the gmail web server, to the IMAP gmail inbox, thereby causing them to import BACK into gmail with the correct date/sender info?

4) drag old, locally saved POP3 earthlink messsages into the IMAP gmail inbox, and thereby import the earthlink messages into gmail, with the correct date/sender info?

Thanks for any help
