When I delete the Imap account and try to add a new account, the setup
process goes into IMASP mode automatically. How do i get to a point where i
can do it manually?

An IMAP account is a 2-way syncing account with your server. So the folders
you see in Outlook are also the folder you see on the server. Change one,
and the other will change as well (or you need to re-subscribe to that
folder). Any changes you make in Outlook are also mirrored back to the
server.

A POP3 account is download only and can only download from your main Inbox
folder on the server. Any local changes are not changed back to the server.

Whether or not you need encryption in order to connect depends on the mail
server you are connecting to. Apparently your server does not support
encryption.

If you want to change your IMAP connection to a POP3 connection, remove the
IMAP account from your Outlook configuration and set up the POP3 account
manually via de account settings provided by your ISP.

When going thru the setup process, the software automatically set me up as
an
IMAP account, not POP3. During that process the setup messages said that
it
also couldn’t set it up in an encrypted mode, so it did it unencrypted. I
think I know the difference between IMAP and POP3, but I don’t know if I
should be “encrypted” or not.
In any case, there are two sets of headings for Inbox, Sent items, etc.
On
is under the heading “Outlook Data File”, and the other set is under
. Also, the “Sent” folder under the latter is a
sub-folder under “Inbox” whereas the one under “Outlook Data File” is
named
“Sent Items” (as opposed to just “Sent”) and is in a separate folder.
Anyone know what the explanation is or where I should go to get it?
Thanks!
