[Evolution] POP to IMAP conversion

[Reid Vail <rsv869 runbox com>]

Hello group     

My wife has an Evolution mailbox configured as POP3.  I want to convert
this implementation over to IMAP.  Can I backup her mail via the
Evolution backup tool (1G+), wipe out that mailbox, recreate it under
the same mailbox name and address as IMAP, and import the mail from the
backup?  
Will that work?

Thx

Reid
