Hi would like to try this email client for Mac I Mail I have few folder stored locally I don't know if can be stored on the server
would I be able to see on Spark or give me some ideas how to export into Spark. Thanks
 
You will have to drag the "Local/On My Mac" folders in Mail.app to the server to get all the folders/emails to upload. Then set up Spark to use with that email account, which will sync with all the emails and folders you have already set up.

The key is getting those local copies on to the email IMAP server so that they can sync with any email app you use.

Thanks I use POP not IMAP so what I do ?
 
Spark only supports IMAP, not POP. You would have to switch to using IMAP to use Spark as your email app.

But i downloaded spark for Mac using gmail account and works with pop my gmail account is only pop strange what you say
