One solution for IMAP message upload issues in Mail
Authored by: gmayer0 on Nov 13, '08 07:08:48AM

one note to add: your pop account may have been clearing the server of messages and your "popped" email in your client may be greater than than the limit of your server: example Gmail's limit is 10GB or something and private host may have 1GB limit. So if you loaded your 1.5GB PST/Mailbox "up" into IMAP it will likely crash or worse loose mail.

The only reason I fear this is because I tried to "upgrade someone to Exchange :(" and their 1.8GB PST was completely lost when dragged because of the 1GB limit of "1and1.com" hosting. Don't get me started, my mistake...

Always backup your mail before performing any tasks INCLUDING creating/deleting MAILAPP accounts. Your mail can and will disappear when you remove the account: and it's gone... really gone... Cause Apples are friendly and helpful.
