Default HELP! Cannot access e-mail through regular server


O.K., so I am quite computer illiterate and didn't know that when I set
Windows Mail up that ALL of my e-mail would be transferred here, and that I
wouldn't have access through my regular server.

How do I get it back to the way it was, without losing all of my messages?

Help...I am desperate!

Thanks in advance!

'Tools|Accounts|Mail|Properties|Advanced' add a checkmark to the "Leave a
copy of mail on server" checkbox.

Fantastic! Thank you very much for that info! I never would have found that
on my own.

Now, is there a way to restore all of the messages (or at least send a copy)
back to my server?

Thanks again!

You would have to forward each message individually to yourself.
