Moving from Windows Mail to Mercury

Well, you'll need more disk space on the server!...

Otherwise searching mail will take much longer than if it's stored in your local mail client. And when creating folders, remember that IMAP folders in Mercury can contain other folders or messages, but not both. If you mix it there is a risk you'll loose messages.

Hi,

 I've been using Mercury/32 for a while now as a POP3 server. With the growth of different devices (mobiles, webmail etc) that I can use to talk to the server, I would prefer to switch to IMAP4. Setting it up is easy and I'm happy with that side of things. But are there any tips or pitfalls from trying to move my existing email from Windows Mail (or I suppose any PoP3 client mailbox) to the folders within Mercury ?

Thanks
