With IMAP you habe a seperate folderstructure at your provider (let's say: a seperate mailbox). With that structure you should have at minimum folders SENT and TRASH (maybe DRAFTS, TEMPLATES, ARCHIVES an JUNK in addition). If not - create them. In the options of the identity for that mailaddress point outbox to folder SENT, in IMAP-Profile point folder for deletd messages to TRASH.

Your local folderstructure isn't of any interest with IMAP! The advantage of that is, that your mails are accessable with any mailclient (including webmailerinterface of your provider if offered) from anywhere you have access to internet.

You don't have to download anything with IMAP ... simply click on the added INBOX . There are your new mails for that provider.

Yes - or configure the IMAP-Profile to connect at startup of Pegasus (what I would do).

Forget all about POP :-)

My second email addess had to be via live.com but Telstra has just changed to IMAP with telstra.com

I am having trouble getting my head around this.

I diaabled the pop3 def, started an Imap profile and altered SMTP to  smtp.telstra.com, seems to have port and secuiry Ok

as I can send and receive even between my new email and my old bigpond one.
