For professional reasons, i can only use a pop3 account. For personal usage, i use two imap accounts. With these two accounts, i don't have any issue. But the problem is with the pop3 account, because i use at least two/three computers (my pc, my laptop and my wifes laptop). I've tried to creat a dedicated imap account and MOVEd the pop3 emails inbox to the impa inbox, but it isn't quite want i want. How can i forward pop3 inbox email account to a imap account, so i can always have up to date pop3 emails on all computers? Thanks. TrasMontano

Forward them using rules on the POP server.

Thank you for helping.

But the web server doesn't have any options/definitions.

Is it possible to do this in Thunderbird? If so, how?

Thanks.

Is the imap account with one of the free providers? something we can point you to such as Google , Hotmail in it's many guises and Yahoo, or a personal server (corporate perhaps) where generalities are needed.
