I just downloaded outlook onto my computer on work and it imported all of my
bellsouth messages. Now I came home to check out my email in bellsouth and
none are there......How do I get them back to bellsouth so I can check them
at home where I don't use outlook???? Please help....It imported over 1000
messages that I can't read at home.
Because you used POP to access your e-mail account. POP yanks a message
and then deletes it. That is the default behavior. Since you retrieved
the message into one instance of Outlook using POP, the messages got
deleted from the mail server after they were downloaded. That means
they are no longer up on the mail server for you to access them from
there. They are local on your work host.
You will need to configure Outlook to "leave message on server".
Outlook will retrieve a copy of a message but NOT delete it from the
server. Along with that option are others as to how long you want to
leave them on the mail server after retrieving them into Outlook.
Why are you trying to read work-related e-mails at home? If your
company wanted you to have access to their e-mail system then they would
provide access to their mail server. It sounds like you downloaded
personal e-mails at work from your non-company account and now want to
see them at home. Don't download personal e-mails to your work host.
It can get you into trouble, especially if you say anything derogatory
about your employer and any employee in an outbound e-mail. Use the
webmail interface to do your personal e-mails while at work. Use a
local e-mail client to yank them to your computer at home.
