Outlook/ Yahoo issue

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

I just connected Outlook with my yahoo account. Worked like a charm.

Now all emails in yahoo are gone. But I would like to have my emails in my yahoo as well, for when I am not at home.

I did a quick google search but it didn't solve the problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Depending on which version of Outlook you're using - the menus may vary - what you're looking for is your POP3 email account and you'll want to change settings .

You're looking for

Leave a copy of messages on the server (probably unchecked, so you'd need to check it).

To find out exactly how - use the help/search feature of Outlook and type in Leave a copy of messages on the server.

Best I could do...

Does Yahoo supports IMAP instead of POP?

Thanks Otto

I found what you mentioned in the account settings and ticked that box. Unfortunately the emails did not cme back, but I hope the news ones will at least be saved. *sigh*

No problem - oh, forgot to mention - the already downloaded emails will not go back to the yahoo server (once they're gone, they're gone) . Subsequent emails will remain though.

That is really unfortunate. And I don't even want Outlook, yahoo is such a great free email provider and the new layout is just as good as outlook. I was just playing around with it.

Are you getting POP3 forwarding for free? (I thought yahoo charged for that - as a mail-premium...)

Yes, it's free. Linking it was super easy as well, Outlook 2007 did it all for me.

I go back in my corner now to cry about the lost emails.

Yes, go to your room and think about what you've done...

Go into outlook and forward them back to your account...you can email your account from itself

I thought of that, but then they are all from myself and harder to sort through when I look for something.

But better than not having them at all, you are right!
