I don't know much about IMAP... but just tried switching an account I read with Eudora. Went into properties, clicked on IMAP... the options changed and I was worried that I didn't know what I was doing.... namely "IMAP Mailbox Location Prefix" which I assumed my need some input.

Since it was a new account, no fear of losing mail... I just left it alone.. and what do you know? It worked with no input. Just that one click on IMAP did the trick. And NO changes on the RAQ.

I'm getting the mail in a seperate directory than my regular IN folder... all appears to be working. I'd still like to know what that field's for.. but I assume that leaving it blank is better than putting the wrong thing
