Switching from POP to IMAP for existing emails

What do I need to do to make the change?

All you need to do is configure your email client with the protocol you prefer — in this case, IMAP. It’s that simple.

Does this change make sense?

Absolutely. You could say that the POP3 protocol is outdated and not built for modern life. These days, we all want to access our email from many different devices. That’s why IMAP is the ideal choice — it’s specifically designed so that all your devices can read your email at the same time and share the same information. So the switch is highly recommended, at least if you’re someone who lives in the modern world ;-D
