Ahh. I didn't know there was any real reason to avoid IMAP. It seems to offer many advantages to me, and I guess, most people. Being able to access "everything" from almost any device, anywhere, seems very inviting. I found it annoying not being able to access POP e-mails because they had been downloaded to a client somewhere, and I found the "Download only unread messages' option a bit troublesome. Even then, you still can't access Copies of Sent messages, if they are on your Desktop at home. I guess a special BCC-self e-mail account is the answer?
I guess I need to do more research. One thing I do find troubling is the general move to cloud-based e-mail, which will eliminate many small e-mail clients, I'm sure. I refuse to give all my e-mail and contacts to Google! They know far too much already. On-going, reliable backups from a long time ago would have been the best option!
In this case, it wasn't the 2GB limit. Only 170MB worth. I think my PC must have been running out of memory.
You are right! Move was a dumb idea! I dragged and dropped, which doesn't offer the Copy option.
Already done an IMAPsize backup. Messy results, from a future lookup PoV.
I am going to try a German product next. Sounds ok. MailStore (Home)...
Then, will come back to Pegasus.
Thanks again for your comments.
