If you modified the existing POP account to be an IMAP account, it does not work. To switch to IMAP, you need to create a new account within thunderbird for IMAP while you retain the POP account. Once done to your satifaction, you can remove the POP account - BUT you need to first COPY any of the POP messages that are no longer online that you want to save to Local Folders prior to deleting the POP account.
