Certainly, IMAP is in every way superior;  POP is a dead legacy
solution, it certainly is not appropriate for a mailbox accessed by
multiple devices.

POP and IMAP are separate accounts.  And IMAP account is a persistent
thing while POP is really just a local mailbox to which mail is
downloaded.  Just create an IMAP account and then you can drag the mail
from the POP account into the IMAP account.  Then just delete the POP
account.
