Yahoo Mails deleted during Oulook sync

by imsularif - 10/17/12 10:04 AM

Hi All,

I've recently set up the POP yahoo account and configured MS-Outlook 2007. I was happy to see all my mails in outlook.

I recently noticed, i had forgotten to check the copy of the mails in the server. Due to that all my mails ( nearly 10K ) got vanished and moved to outlook mailbox. Now, i am afraid i may not be able to access the mails in remote locations.

After searching through Google, I noticed it can be done by forwarding multiple mails at single shot to yahoo.but it would look clumpsy in a single mail.

Is there any possible ways to get my mails back to the yahoo server ?

Thanks in advance.

http://superuser.com/questions/308802/need-to-restore-emails-that-outlook-deleted-from-the-mail-server repeats that forward idea.

I have never found any system that restores the emails to their prior condition.

-> And let's be clear about this. This is not a bug. It was designed to work this way and again, is not a bug or omission.

Retreived copy from yahoo trash

Thanks Bob.

I agree its not a bug and designed to work in the way it is.

Lately after posting the thread, i found a copy of the mails in my Yahoo trash box. I hope during the sync to outlook, all the deleted mails from yahoo inbox are pushed to its trash.

So, i enabled the checkbox to leave a copy in server and moved all the trash mails back to yahoo inbox and hence got my mails back.
