Switching from POP to IMAP

I have POP on my mac and IMAP on my other devices. Can I just switch from POP to IMAP on my mac and access the emails already on the IMAP account I have been using on my other devices and negate exporting POP emails then importing to IMAP?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.6

Yes. All devices configured to use an IMAP email account will synchronize email.
