[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1776742"] One difference between IMAP and POP is that in implementing IMAP, a lot of providers have now put a time limit on how long messages remain on their server. Since what you see is a window into that server, that means that email COULD just go away after a while. If you want to keep an archive of your highly-categorized emails, you will need to keep that copy on your mac in a folder that is NOT provided by your service. What I have done for those emails is to create, in Mail, folder on my Mac and then I wrote rules to copy the messages from the regular inbox to the local folders so that when my service decides to delete old mail, I still have a copy locally stored and therefore untouched. But I do have to clean up the local copies periodically to get rid of the junk that can accumulate in them. [/QUOTE]
