How do you set MailDroid Pro to use IMAP?

I am using a non-rooted Verizon Morotola Droid X running Android 2.3.3. I am using MailDroid Pro for my email app with POP3.

When I initially installed and setup MailDroid I think I remember having a choice to select either POP3 or IMAP and I selected POP3. I would like to try IMAP so the email on my PC running Outlook 2007, my iPad 2 and the Droid X will sync with each other so when I delete a message on my phone it will also be deleted on my PC and iPad.

Now that I have MailDroid setup for POP3 is there a way to go into the settings and change it to IMAP and then change the incoming port to 143 or do I have to completely un-install MailDroid Pro then re-install and select IMAP? I have tried to find the setting where it shows it shows the port numbers and mail servers but I can't find it.

Thanks for your help.
 
On the main accounts screen, tap and hold on the account, and select Edit Settings.

Thank you for your reply. I went to the main accounts screen and entered into my existing account with edit settings. I would like to change the operation from POP3 to IMAP but I couldn't find a setting to change to IMAP. I tried to add a new account using my existing email address and password and it told me there was already an account set up which is true.

In the edit settings area if I delete my existing account and create a new IMAP account will I loose all of my existing account settings such as signature, etc. which I would have to set up again?

Thanks very much for your help.
