Outlook deleted my email from the Yahoo server. How do I get it back onto Yahoo!?

I set up Outlook to retrieve my Yahoo mail from the POP3 server so I could have a saved copy of all my emails on my PC. I didn't realize that the default Outlook setting deletes all emails from the source server. How do I get them back to the Yahoo server so I can access my email again? Specifically, is there any way to preserve the original dates and headers?

The only way to get them back on the Yahoo server is to forward them from OE to your Yahoo account, and like the other person said, check the "leave copy of messages on server" option in OE.





The only way to save original dates/headers is to save each individual message in OE (save it to your desktop, or somewhere easy to access), then attach them all to a message (or a few messages, if need be) and send it to your Yahoo account. You'd have to play around with it in Yahoo to see if you could save the attachments in your Yahoo inbox as regular messages (I doubt it, but doesn't hurt to try).
Reply:not possible, sorry...
Reply:I've never used Outlook to access my Yahoo mail but I use it to access my school mail. There is an option in Outlook under the 'More Settings' button for your email account settings under the 'Advanced' tab to 'Leave a copy of messages on the server'. That should make it do what you want it to do.
