| | Re: all aol mail in windows mail by mistake can't send back Did you set up that AOL account as a POP account or an IMAP account? A POP account will download messages from the server, and after the download is completed, it tells the server to delete its copy of those messages. Set up another AOL account in Windows Mail, but this time make it an IMAP account, using these instructions: http://www.postmaster.aol.com/imap/express.html Next, select (highlight) all the messages in the regular (POP) inbox, right-click, select Move to Folder, then select the IMAP account Inbox as the destination.. It may take time, but eventually IMAP will synchronize its local Inbox with the Inbox on the AOL server. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "omar" <omar@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4CD1173B-92E9-49B8-B343-CB234D1E3F99@xxxxxx Quote: >I set up windows mail and somehow all my mail in aol went into windows mail. > I can't send the mail back to aol.

| | Re: all aol mail in windows mail by mistake can't send back Thanks for your help Gary and you were right. I noticed the emails going into AOL then going out and then back in again. So it will take time.
