| | Forgot to tick"Leave a copy of messages on server". Get them back? When downloading for the first time to Windows Mail I forgot to tick 'Leave a copy of messages on server". I want my messages to remain on the server as a backup. How can I upload the messages from Windows Mail on my hard drive, back to the original email address on the web? Help would be welcome! Thanks! |
