hi - i use mail with dot mac configured as POP. I want to set it up as IMAP. I understand i need to set up a new account , then disable the POP.
so I have the new IMAP account set up. and a LOT of emails to move to the server so they are accessible. everything is in folders. and subfolders. very pre-spotlight/google search days mentality.
anyway, when i drag folders, or individual emails i get an error m "The IMAP command APPEND (to INBOX) failed with server error: Message contains invalid header." The messages won't copy.
googling this brings up a lot of unix i don't understand.
has anyone else encountered this?
i suppose there's another way to look at it. all my mail is in folders "on my mac" so it will stay there after i disable pop. thus if i don't want it accessible via IMAP i could just leave it - my inbox, sent mail and drafts would have to be moved to local folders.
after this, if i understand this correctly, i could use IMAP, i would see my old messages in Mail, they just would not be accessible to my iphone. is that correct?
i have over 20k messages. i would say half i could archive and forget about, but the other half i would like to import to IMAP if possible.
so after all that, does anyone know what's going on with this error.
thanks, eric
