If you have a large number of messages you wish to save, the most efficient course of action is to download them from the Colonial Mail server to your own computer. You cannot do this through Colonial Mail. You will have to connect to your account through an email program that supports IMAP account access, such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Pegasus Mail, Apple Mail, or Eudora. With IMAP access you can move messages easily between folders on the server and folders on your own computer (“local folders”). You can even connect to more than one account at once and move messages between them (assuming both accounts allow IMAP access). For information about how to set up an IMAP connection to your account and archive your mail to local folders, point your browser to Online Manuals and check out the Email section.
