Question asked on Dec 18, 2016

I have about 10 email accts, WLM, POP, MSN, HOTMAIL, there are a ton of emails, I've started with my primary acct, its been 4 hours now, no doubt about 500 to 1000 coming through I hope to the IMAP folders, I've been patient,  I am following firedogs post which I printed out

Is this normal?

Would I be better off time wise to create  new email accts for some of my other email addresses and would I have the ability to save the older emails to view in wlm?

I don't want to use outlook

I have read about thunderbird and mentioned here in topics there is another new email service,  will thunderbird etc.  take this long to download emails, can they use my msn , wlm, etc. addresses or will they want the new imap config., the way its going so far for 1 email address to download imap folders could be a 3 day or more affair for me.

Thanks in advance
