Reimport mails to online server

sjl1015 · 10-26-2007, 04:44 AM

Please HELP!!!!

I was struck by Mozilla thunderbird. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

I tried out Thunderbird today and let it adopt my
primary email inbox from yahoo (pop). Well, nowhere
did it told me that it's going to rob all my email
from yahoo and put it in thunderbird, and let me not
able to check my emails elsewhere other than my own
computer. As a freelancer, this makes little sense. I
know it's partially my fault that I should have
checked it out first before commit my primary email
account to it.

Now I would like to know if anyone is aware of any way
or method that i can reimport my 1700 emails back to
my yahoo online account????

If not, can I disconnect Thunderbird and let it stop
receiving my emails and so i go back to the old ways?

Your answers will be greatly appreciated!!! Please
help me!
Thank you!!!

oh yeah your fault alright, you should know better, that Thunderbird or Outlook or whichever was gonna download all your mails right after the setup , unless you stopped it.Ive never used thunderbird but it must have an option where it says leave copy of mails on the server like Outlook.

Hey patrickv, obviously you have nothing to say and you know nothing.

FYI

The following information is the procedure for solving the pop mail server problem that caused by importing yahoo mail into Thunderbird. In oder to make emails accessible both online in the Yahoo server and Thunderbird, Please see the following:

1. First, to keep emails synchronized on yahoo mail and TBird and make the online server able to receive emails again (instead of sending it all to only Thunderbird), in TBird, Under "tools"--Account Settings---server settings---check "leave messages on server" AND "until I delete them". This makes emails available to both online Yahoo server And Thunderbird. It's a thing of beauty. (now the POP function like IMAP??)
2. Then, download the Fast Mail Redirect add on from Mozilla https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/1962

and installed it into Thunderbird (tools->add-ons->install button-->locate the downloaded file on disk)
3. Restart Thunderbird

4. after restarting Thunderbird, under "message" there will be a new option "redirect"

5. In Thunderbird, highlight multiple messages and go to "Message-->redirect" and send it back to original email address (same as the one thunderbird shares). (instead of one at the time--!!!!) go to Yahoo mail, and there's the messages sent back to Yahoo inbox,

6.In Yahoo inbox, select all messages--->mark--->mark as read.

7.After MailRedirect, there will be second copies of emails sent back to into the TBird inbox. In TBird, do "Get Mail" and all new redirected mail will be shown in highlight, hit "delete" and then the copies will be deleted.

conclusion: problem solved! don't take impossible for an answer. !!!
