ZFR · 01-07-2006, 06:02 AM

er.... I hope I can express myself clearly

I usually check my web-mail using the internet online website...

now I just used outlook for the first time and.... all my messages are gone from the web and into outlook.
is there any way to get them back into the web server?

Nope. At least, not besides sending them all to yourself again.

In your outlook setup, you want to find the check box for "leave a copy of messages on the server". Make sure that's set to do that...

I couldn't leave it on outlook since the PC isn't mine and I need them online (dont have a PC at home). So I found Mark Lyon's Google GMail Loader (GML) which allows to export mail from thunderbird/netscape/eudora back to GMail server.

So I had to... export my mail messages from outlook to thunderbird. Then I tried using GML to export them to my original server. I couldnt export all messages

. So I created a GMail account, and exported it there. All messages exported successfully. I guess I'll just use the GMail account to have my messages there till I get a PC at home and get my own outlook/thunderbird.

I'm not happy this happened

. But at least it's a lesson learnt for the future.
