It's not that complicated, but it does take a while... basically, you need to sync all your POP3 mail
up to the server using IMAP. And delete the unsorted copies currently stranded on Gmail, for example. (This assumes you actually left it there instead of having POP3 delete it. That is the mess I keep seeing.)

I have migrated all but my most used account to IMAP, but I still can't get to like it's arbitrary imposition of folders, and I am still never quite sure what commands like delete, empty trash, archive.. are really doing. i think "delete" works differently inside a client than in the gmail web browser for example ( most accounts are a on a gmail platform as customized by virgin media but they are moving off of that very soon - so they say )

What arbitrary imposition of folders? You can use whatever folders you like. Just store them on the remote server.
"Delete" means send to trash. Just like it does on
https://gmail.com
Same with the other commands.
