Old Mail Tip:
If you were using Outlook with POP3 previously, all of your old mail is still in Outlook Today/Inbox. It is recommended that you move this into your IMAP Inbox to have all of your mail in one place, and so that it's stored in a safe place. To do this, simply go into Inbox under Outlook Today, select all your mail, and drag it into the Inbox for the account you just configured. You should also move any old folders from the Outlook Today section into your IMAP account. To enable storing your Sent mail on the server, please see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #198854.
