Vista Tutorial - How do I stop the transfer and return my email to where they belon

06-17-2009

All I needed to do was send a message on Craigs List and instead I transfered
all my emails to this stupid thing and I want them where they came from and I
want this Windows mail thing to stop. I don't want it to go through my email
again.

Your post doesn't have much to base recommendations on.
pop, imap, http account?
Are messages still on the server?
Email programs download mail to your computer.

Not enough information.

Email client ?
- Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Hotmail
Live ID ?
- Hotmail.com, Live.com, Msn.com, or third party registered as a Live ID
Typed of account setup in the email client
- Pop3, Http, Imap
Operating System
- XP, Vista, Win7, other

Did you use the True Switch option to transfer ?
<qp>
TrueSwitch is a web-based service that you can use to transfer your stored e-mail messages, contacts, and calendar from another
e-mail account to your Windows Live Hotmail account without having to manually reenter the information.
</qp>

Did you download your messages from a web server using pop3 without disabling the 'Leave Messages on Server option' ?

Where is "where they came from"?
We can't help unless you tell us what your normal mail service provider is.

Greetings community members. I'm a bit of an outsider (XP still, sorry), but I hope I can glean a little help. In short I've exactly the same issue as the original poster. I have a BT Yahoo account which my son has very 'helpfully' redirected to Windows Live mail. When he completed the migration, the entire contents of my inbox was deleted, presumably from the server too.

Unfortunately he claims he has no idea what he did (he's a very bright, but typically careless 13 year old... no offence implied or otherwise to similarly inflicted members, but I swear the testosterone has caused serious brain damage), and now I'm struggling to understand how to recover a lot of important stuff.

Could anyone help please?

Email client: BT Yahoo (btopenworld)
Server type: POP3
OP sys: XP

Cheers... Paul

Nothing wrong with using XP. A lot of us, myself included, continue to
use it.

The default with most POP3 clients is to delete messages from the mail
server after downloading. In WLM mail, the setting is at Tools,
Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced, Leave a copy on the server.
Uncheck the option to sop deleting them.

There's no good way to put the messages back on the server. About all
you can do forward the messages individually to yourself. But that will
alter the sender as well as the date.

If you or your son have deleted the account from WLM, that deletes the
messages from WLM as well. If that's the case, about all you can do is
use an Undelete utility to look for deleted EML files. The longer you
wait and the more you use your PC, the less likely you'll be able to
recover many.

"presumably from the server too."
I don't understand; haven't you checked via webmail to see if
the messages are still on the server?
By default the current version of Windows Live Mail does not
remove downloaded messages from the server.

Gary,
many thanks for your response and sorry for the confusion. My Yahoo Inbox is empty, that much is obvious. Please ignore my ignorance, but how do I "check via webmail" what, if anything, remains on the server?

Following my post last night I learnt a little more about Live Mail and and some of what my son did: he downloaded Live mail and tried to set-up a new account for himself on his laptop... but unfortunately (I have my doubts!) used my email address. Why I don't yet know. Checking the properties of the new account, on the Advanced tab, the box to leave a copy of the mail on the server was not ticked.

I'm far from being able to say I understand what's going on, but it does look as if the Yahoo server is empty.

Mike's suggestion of sending the mail back to myself is something I tried last night too... but although the Live Mail account appears to be able to receive my mail, it refuses to send anything, returning an error: cannot connect to server, error code 0x800CCC0E. I think I'm using the correct server address (mail.btopenworld.com), SMTP, port 25 and I have SSL enabled.

Any further thoughts?

Many thanks... Paul

You should be able to access your inbox via webmail at
http://bt.yahoo.com/webmail

To send with btopenworld.com, SSL should *not* be enabled. Check,
too, that "My server requires authentication" *is* selected on the
Servers tab.

This same problem happened to me today. I am using Windows Mail with my Vista
fetching mail from Yahoo!. even though I already tick the "leave a copy of
messages on the server" still it downloads the all my mail from my
yahoomail...

Is there some other to stop it!!! Frustrated!
