I do know how you feel! This happened to me also. The reason is Microsoft Outlook default at: Delete pop3 accounts after download if you did not specify "Leave a copy of messages on the server" after loading the software. Here's how to stop that from happening.....

Open your Microsoft Outlook 2007

1.On the TOOLS menu, click ACCOUNT SETTINGS.
2.Under NAME, select the POP3 e-mail account that you want, and click CHANGE.
3.Click MORE SETTINGS.
4.Click ADVANCED TAB, under DELIVERY, select the LEAVE A COPY OF MESSAGES ON THE SERVER check box.

That's All their is to it! I made the same mistake.. Their is no way to retrieve them back to your server but it won't happen again, THANK GOD!! Later......the "SAX MAN"

To delete mail from the server only after several days with Windows Mail or Outlook Express:

Select Tools | Accounts... from the menu in Windows Mail or Outlook Express.
Highlight the desired email account.
Click Properties.
Go to the Advanced tab.
Make sure Leave a copy of messages on server is selected.
Now also check Remove from server after __ day

Outlook express, or microsoft outlook (from office pack) they are different. If you are using the outlook (office) (edit your email settings- should be the same as editing your email account.
Tools-->Account settings-->Change-->more settings--> advanced

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

Ask a question
Doesn't work. The messages are still removed from the server. Is there a way to copy them back? I'm using Windows Mail.

Forward them back is a rather ham-fisted way, but it would work

Each computer will need to be changed that is using this account, any unchanged will delete email from the server. Please make sure you click next and finish before closing out of the boxes.

Lou,
I had the same problem. It turned out I was using the tools/send/receive/send receive settings/define user group etc. to make the changes. This resulted in the settings being temporary. To make the changes permanent use the tools/email accounts/change existing accounts. The check marks should stay now.

When I open Outlook 7 and click TOOLS there is no "email accounts" option.

Microsoft outlook, and outlook express are different. Sounds like you have outlook express
