Hi,
I am having problems with the ISP I use for my webmail so I have decided to run my family mail domain on my local mailserver on my Mac Mini as the family mail system.
I can sort out this easily enough and am ready to switch at any moment but...
My wife has 3,000 mails on her iMAC (mavericks and standard iMac mail client) from her POP3 account (which are no longer on the ISP webmail system - they delete stuff too fast)
Although the only details to change in her POP3 mail account config on her iMac are the inbound and outbound POP3 server addresses I am getting a message that states the existing mails will be deleted when I try and change these server details. I guess also the calendar entries and contacts???
I need to preserve these elements as I change the in/out pop servers so that when i change the POP3 account details I can re-import her mail safely. She will have the same mail address after I change and will login to the iMAc with the same Apple ID...
Can anyone explain what I need to do to enable the change safely. I cannot afford to lose these mails nor can I stay with the ISP forever?
Many thanks,
Sam
