Forgot to tick"Leave a copy of messages on server". Get them back?

[SlightlyConfused]

When downloading for the first time to Windows Mail I forgot to tick 'Leave a
copy of messages on server".
I want my messages to remain on the server as a backup. How can I upload the
messages from Windows Mail on my hard drive, back to the original email
address on the web?

Help would be welcome! Thanks!

Its better to backup locally and then you have a copy if your hard drive
fails or the server crashes. See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

HI, so does hotmail accounts in windows live mail have IMAP accounts
If not can you suggest a good way to back up messages in windows live mail?

Thanks

No, Hotmail doesn't have IMAP, but its server-based HTTP protocol
has pretty much the same features as IMAP.
