I havent PMMAIL installed but to see remote folders, you should connect using IMAP while POP3 generally gets inbox email only.
PMMail does NOT do IMAP. Period. If someone wants to add that feature, please contact Neil Waldhauer.
I changed POP in Receive to IMAP. It downloaded the inbox folder with no problem. It still did not try to download the Archive folder to my PMMail archive folder
Amazing. PMMail does not know about IMAP.
It still did not try to download the Archive folder to my PMMail archive folder.
The only way, that I know about, is to move some, or all, messages into the Inbox, fetch them with PMMail, and move them to the new folder. Be warned, that having too many messages in the Inbox can cause the server to time out, before PMMail finishes downloading all of them. You also need to set PMMail to not remove messages from the server, if you want them to remain on the server (for other IMAP devices).
I strongly suggest a BACKUP, before playing with it. The usual way to use PMMail, is to make the POP server available , then configure PMMail to fetch mail from the POP server. Normally, that will REMOVE all messages from the server Inbox, which makes them unavailable to IMAP devices. If you set PMMail to leave messages on the server, it will remember what was downloaded, and only fetch new messages. If you do that, I would recommend a daily backup of PMMail. If something goes wrong, you can lose the records, and you will need to start over.
