    Default Rename e-mail account

    I have an e-mail account that I use with IMAP that has a lot of e-mails in it, is it possible to rename the e-mail account? I need to re-use the current e-mail account as a POP3 account but I still want to keep all of the e-mails on the server using IMAP.

    Thanks
