POP3 and/or IMAP??

Well, I got it working as desired! Set up POP3 and disabled it. Set up IMAP and tried it to make sure it was working. Enabled POP3. Now IMAP starts and shows all the remote folders and the number of files in each; there is a slight pause and then POP3 starts and downloads everything from the remote INBOX to the local one. Life is good!

For the past several years I have been using P-Mail as the client for the Zimbra server at my university. Somehow, at connection, I was able to see all the server folders (like with IMAP), but also the INBOX automatically downloaded to my PC (like POP3 does). A month ago the university changed to MS Outlook365 necessitating changing my P-Mail settings -- mostly trivial name changes. However, now I can't find a way to simultaneously download new mail and have the server folders displayed. If I remove IMAP, POP3 will automatically download the INBOX files; if l disable POP3, IMAP will display the server folders. Using IMAP and downloading new mail manually has the disadvantage of not putting the various mail into designated local folders--which I had done previously. I have been told that what I had previously is impossible, but never-the-less it worked for me. Is there some way for me to get the P-Mail/Outlook connection to function as desired?? Perhaps, I'm missing some obvious setting?

I don't see the sense of having IMAP and downloading mails via POP3. Reads as if you don't know how to filter on IMAP-Inbox?! Copy your "new mail filters" (which only work on local inbox) to a common filter ruleset and advise this ruleset to the IMAP-Inbox. Everytime you click on IMAP-Inbox the ruleset is executed.

It seems with old mailhost it was possible to login more than once. I assume with exchange you are only allowed to login once. If you start Pegasus, you login on IMAP and login with POP3 in your configuration - these are two logins.

I don't think you have to remove IMAP ... I think you should disable the button reading (sorry have german Pegasus) like "On startup of Pegasus allways connect to this profile" in IMAP-Settings. Than start Pegasus, manually (!!!) get mails via POP3 and than activate IMAP manually.

I think you should rethink you concept and perhaps create common filters.
