Making the switch from POP3 to IMAP is a great way to access your emails from any device! However, it’s crucial to move your existing emails before deleting the POP3 account. POP3 stores emails on your device, so deleting it without transferring them will erase them permanently.
Here’s how to move your emails from POP3 Sent folder to your new IMAP account (using iOS Mail):
- Open the POP3 Sent folder: Locate the Sent folder within your POP3 email account in iOS Mail.
- Select All Emails (with a Trick):
- Tap “Edit” in the top right corner.
- Tap the first email to select it.
- Hold the “Move” button (bottom center of the screen) with one hand.
- With another finger, tap all other emails to deselect the first one you chose.
- Choose the Destination: While still holding “Move,” tap on the “Sent folder” in your new IMAP account.
- Release and Confirm:
- Let go of the “Move” button and confirm the move process.
- This will copy all your POP3 Sent emails to your new IMAP account, ensuring they’re accessible from any device!
