Re: I need my emails in my original server back

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi John, This all is very clear and I tried it, however your last comment
(9) states "The next time you use Windows Mail you will still see the emails,
but if
you look on your web mail server the original emails should still be there."
does not make sense and I don't see the e-mails back in my Windows Mail.
Thanks.

Michael

It maybe that the 'leave a copy on the server' option has been disabled. To
find out if this is the case do the following:

1/ Open Windows Mail
2/ Click Tools on the main toolbar, then from the drop down menu, Click
Accounts
3/ In the Accounts window select your email address (the one you are having
this problem with, if you have more than one) and then Click the Properties
button on the right of the window.
4/ In the Properties window, Click the Advanced tab
5/ In the Advanced tab window look towards the bottom for the section marked
'Delivery'
6/ In the Delivery section look for the option marked 'Leave a copy of
messages on server'
7/ If there is NOT a tick in the box then this option has been disabled. To
remedy this left click your mouse on the option box to the left of the
'leave a copy of messages on server' option. A tick should not appear in the
box.
8/ Finally click OK, close down any other windows and then close Windows
Mail.
9/ The next time you use Windows Mail you will still see the emails, but if
you look on your web mail server the original emails should still be there.
