How to import older IMAP messages?

Hello,

how do I import messages from a backup without deleting or removing the current emails in an IMAP account?

Thanks

You can highlight and drag messages to a desired folder or use the Tools>Import feature, but maybe that's not really what you're seeking.

Hi David,

thanks for the reply.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
I moved to a new hoster and and did a backup on all of my emails because I did not know how I can keep emails when moving to a new hoster.
Now, I need some of these backupped emails, but I am afraid when I recover them that all of my current active emails in that Inbox folder will be replaced with the ones from the backup.

From my experience, assuming you did a backup from Tools>Backup, the restore should leave other messages untouched. However, if you would like a bit of security, you could highlight the existing messages in account and use Tools>Export to ensure those messages are not lost. Good luck,
david

Tried your recommendation, but it is not doing anything beside spinning this blue wheel for an hour and not responding.
