Yahoo Email in Outlook

[GEsteves]

Hi,
I set up my yahoo email account in outlook. All my email messages in my
yahoo account were transferred to my outlook account. Is there a way to get
all my email back into my yahoo inbox?

Yahoo! uses POP3 for downloading email, when you have a paid 'yahoo.com', or
for several of the free ".cc" Yahoo! services. With POP3, once downloaded,
forever off of the server. You can forward the email to the Yahoo! account,
but forwarding loses the original trace headers. Or you can "Forward as
Attachment". But that still only preserves the original email as an attached
file.

There is no way to restore downloaded email to a POP3 server in its pristine
state.

Downloading the message and then deleting it from the server is the
default behavior for POP accounts. You can alter that behavior in your
e-mail client by configuring it to not delete after retrieval. Read:

At this point, the only thing you can do to get your mails back up on
the server is to send them to yourself. Of course, that means all the
original headers are lost. So you could forward them as an attachment
to yourself. The original headers will be available in the attached
message; however, it also means all those forwarded message will show
those e-mails as you sending them to yourself.
