Lost emails!

Marg

Hello
I have lost my emails from my Inbox.
Emails saved in other folders are still there.

I usually use bt yahoo to read all my emails and I have checked with them (at length) that there is nothing wrong with their server.

The problem seems to be between Outlook Express and BT Yahoo. If I look in Outlook Express the emails disappear from BT Yahoo. I know the simple solution is not to look in Outlook Express - but can anyone please explain how/why this is happening and is there any way I can get the info back?

Thank you!

its because you not leaving a message on the server i dont use outlook express but was somtthing like this. tool- accouts-double click on the one you want-advanced and tick the box to leave a message on the server.

As guy says, your outlook express is currently set to downloading and deleting from the server. There isn't an elegant way of getting them back to your server. The only way I can think of is after you change the settings as Guy's indicated is to forward all your emails to yourself. Of course this would mean all the "from" addresses will be your own but I don't see a way around that.
