Have Tried IMAP but will change to POP3 - Will I lose email?
I recently (about 6 weeks ago) installed a new HDD and moved my TB to the new drive. When I set up the account I made the mistake of accepting the IMAP type account and now I will uninstall TB and reinstall using POP3 during setup. My concern is the emails I have rec'd while using IMAP; will they be lost? Downloaded to my HDD? Stay on the server? Thanks -

First, there is no need to uninstall, but do so as you prefer. You can install the POP account alongside the IMAP account. Since IMAP keeps messages online, they will be there for POP to download. They will remain on the server, only if you specify that in account settings. Otherwise, POP downloads and removes.
