People still use POP?
:p

On a related note to an earlier post, I've helped a few folks migrate 
from a local POP account to an IMAP setup.

(1st step, backup, backup, back)
In your preferred mail client, in addition to you local POP store, 
simply add your preferred IMAP account.
Simply drag & drop your mail & folders from your POP account to your 
IMAP account - may take a bit of time to upload, but generally this 
works a charm. Metadata should also be retained (depending on your client)

Another nice feature of IMAP is IMAP-IDLE (depending on 
client/server-capabilities), which allows for near-instant "push mail"
