How do I return messages to the server after Outlook deleted them?

[Guest]

I set up a new POP3 email account in Outlook. Not realizing the default
setting was to delete messages from the server after downloading, I hit OK.
Outlook checked my email the first time and I realized my hundreds of
messages are no longer on the server (i.e., accessible via my normal
web-based acces of the account). I know how to fix this for future messges,
BUT is there a way to undue the damage...return the downloaded messages back
to the server so they aren't lost for good??

Not really. Best you can do is e-mail them back to yourself.

Not for a POP3 account. A workaround might be to send them to yourself then
leave a copy on the server.
If you want to use server-side email then consider using an IMAP account.
