Gentlemen;
We have a hosted exchange mail server and use Outlook 2003 as our client. In order to keep the server mail storage at a minimum we've created an internal IMAP mail server to use as storage. This new imap server is replacing an older one that was in use by a limited number of persons, myself included.
I currently have all three accounts defined to my outlook. The exchange as primary, the new imap as the 2nd and the old imap as the 3rd until I can move all its content out.

When I have an incoming message that I wish to save I do so by moving it to a specified folder on the imap account. I can do this currently to BOTH imap accounts. In order to facilite the elimination of the old imap account I must move all my old items into the new imap account. I have been trying to drag and drop folders from the old to the new. Originally this was working well. However, this week, for reasons unknown, I receive the error message that the server must be online to outlook. However, I can access and view messages from either account, I can move from the exchange account to either of the imap accounts without incident. I just can no longer move from the old to the new imap.

Any ideas on what I may be missing or have mis-defined?

Please understand I am new to outlook and exchange.

Thanks
