It's an apples and oranges question. IMAP servers don't talk to POPs
servers, or anything else for that matter -- they talk to IMAP clients.
Use an email client that talks both protocols, netscape for example, and I
beleive microsoft's virus magnet also. Using the email client, download
your entire POP3 mailbox (I presume you've been reading mail with the "keep
on server" option to your POP3 client, otherwise everything's alread
downloaded to yoiur workstation. Now, using that same client, connect to
the IMAP server, and just drag between mailboxes. You probably can log in
to both the IMAP and POP3 servers simultaneously -- most mail clients these
days allow multiple simultaneous accounts -- but you still have to download
the mail into your client's local inbox before you can copy it over to your
IMAP inbnox on the server.
Hope that helps.
