Recently switched from Compuserve classic (pop 3) to
Compuserve 2000 (imap. I have other email accounts in
addition to Compuserve. When I retrieve email it sets up
a new inbox for imap email only and pop3 mail goes to the
default inbox. Anyway to get all my email to dump to the
default inbox?

No. IMAP messages stay on the server. The Inbox you see for the Compuserve
account is the Inbox on the Compuserve system. Typically, only if you open
that folder and open a message in that folder will a message be downloaded
from the server to your PC, and then it will be stored in a local cache that
duplicates the Compuserve folder structure. If you want it out of that
folder, you have to move it to your main Inbox (under "Personal Folders" or
"Outlook Today" - generally the latter).
