I change my hosting provider, and I "backed up" the emails using POP3 and now want to move the messages again to IMAP folders (with the new hosting provider). This procedure Works fine with messages with no attachements and with messages with attachements lower tan 10MB, but when I try to move messages from local foldes to IMAP folders only shows a message saying "trying to login" and after a while, the message dissapear and nothuing happen. the meesage is stiil in local folders and are not copied to IMAP folder.

I already review for some limitations with the new hosting provider, and said there are no problema with the size, with the email account or with the hosting account.

In the activity log windos nothing appear also in the error console there are no message related with it.

Any one that have a clue of how can I move that messages to IMAP folders? we requiere to have it in IMAP because are accesed from differents sites.

Thanks in advance

Try to start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled. - Win10 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/change-startup-settings-in-windows-10#v1h=tab01 - Win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-safe-mode# - Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode. - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode

Does the problem go away
