It almost makes sense. The problem I’m having is wrapping my head 
around IMAP in general, I think. I have been almost exclusively using 
POP for so many years now.

So is a ‘pre-existing IMAP mailbox’ one that is for a specific email 
address? Is it in the Sources area? There are so MANY mailboxes here 
it’s very confusing. Of course I have a half dozen email addresses in 
play, so it’s my own fault.
