Hi all,

Does anyone know how to change an account from a pop3 account to a imap
account, without losing any emails.

You won't lose anything because when you add an IMAP account, Outlook
creates and assigns a new/separate PST file to the IMAP account. About the
only thing you have to take care of is to remove the POP3 account or
configure the send/receive settings to never use the POP3 account since you
don't want both account types checking the same mailbox.
 
Yep, but you might not have to if you where using the POP3 option of "leave
messages on server".
