PLEASE HELP !!!
I lost all my emails  . after I just started using MS Outlook and after all my emails were downloaded in to Outlook as pst files I found that those emails were permanently deleted from my Yahoo! Mail box !!!
I contacted Yahoo, Microsoft for help but they were no help.
Does any one on the Glob knows how to restore my emails?
Thanks

What you've described is how programs like Outlook work by default - they download email to your machine and remove it from the server that you've downloaded it from. There is a setting (buried in advanced settings for the email account) to 'leave a copy on server', but once downloaded they're no way to really "put them back".

I have several email accounts and it is very time consuming to have to keep all of them viewed and read, let alone trying to rember to check each one regularly and rember passwords etc...Having the option and ability to move my emails from one account to another would be a great way to manage my emails.
