exporting from windows mail

i don't know if someone has answered this question already... i don't know
where to look. so this time i'll try again, clicking that little "notify me"
box.

when i opened my windows mail account, my entire inbox got imported from my
previous e-mail. how do i export it back, in bulk?

i know how to forward them one at a time, but that will be tedious with the
great number of letters in that mail box.

all of the related "sents" and "drafts" are still over there, and i need my
old
letters to be there too.

thank you, cee
 
If your ISP offers IMAP connections to your email server, you can create a
second account using IMAP and drag them all back.

If you mean, transfer downloaded POP mail back to your webmail server,
no, it can't be done. The only exception is a mail account with a protocol
that can be synced, such as IMAP, or Hotmail.
Who is your mail provider?
 
how nice to have found the answers to this question, and please pardon that i
asked it again.

my e-mail provider is yahoo, gary. others have answered me on this
question, referring me to tutorials... i haven't had a chance to look at them
yet... it takes me a loooong time to go through many tutorials, and i am
sufficiently a cyber-dummy, so they often don't make sense to me. somewhat
of the situation of the instructions don't make sense to me until i know what
i'm doing.

but i shall get there.
 
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the tutorials are not going
to teach you how to put all those downloaded emails back on the
Yahoo webmail server. It can't be done.

Both Gmail and AOL offer free IMAP accounts, which would have done
what you want if only your account was with them instead of Yahoo.
Yahoo does not offer IMAP accounts.
