I need to change my email account from POP to IMAP. I know that somebody else asked this question here, but the answers are not very clear. Yes, I know I need to get the IMAP setting from the email provider. I'm just checking if it is really straightforward to change the type of protocol from POP to IMAP in WLM settings. Also, what will happen to the previously downloaded messages from POP and those which were sent before the change?

Thank you.
