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?

Problems with Apple Mail I am using Ventura on an iMac Pro. The other day my Charter/Spectrum mail account would not send mail. It's setup as a POP account, which tech support said they do not support any longer and was no help. Apple was no help either with my call; both told me to call the other. Anyway, I was wondering if I could create new server settings using IMAP. I found the settings on Spectrum's website but in trying to do it on Apple Mail was difficult, frustrating, and I would rather not start from scratch and lose all the mail in my Charter/Spectrum accounts. Currently using Thunderbird, which was a breeze to setup but I still like the interface of Apple Mail better. After all this time, you'd think Apple Mail wouldn't still be so clunky to setup. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Email Account (POP/IMAP) I have a third POP Account that used to work fine on my Apple Mail but since Microsoft have stopped supporting Third Party POP/IMAP Email Accounts I can no longer use Apple Mail as my Email Platform. I understand that Microsoft still support Google and Yahoo Mail platforms but nit other Third Party Mail Programs. My question here are Apple going to resolve this issue or am I destined to have to use Webmail from now on or change all my email accounts onto an Exchange Server so that I can continue to use my Apple Mail.

You need to do that first on the GMAIL web browser interface in the advanced settings.
