Need to put POP3 messages back into mailbox.

[OscarVogel]

Last weekend a Outlook POP3 user replaced his OLD laptop.

On his NEW laptop I configured his POP3 to leave a copy of messages on the
Exchange server. He has used only his NEW laptop all week.

Last night he used his OLD laptop to check his email. And then left Outlook
up & running all night. Of coarse that moved all of this week's messages off
of the Exchange server & onto his OLD laptop.

The immediate problem is the 12 emails that he received overnight. How can I
put those 12 messages back into his mail box so he can receive them on his
NEW laptop?

Thanks!

If you have deleted item retention set, they should be underneath his
inbox.

Thanks, but either you misunderstood my question, or I'm misunderstanding
your answer. I don't need to recover deleted items. The user has POP3
accounts on 2 seperate laptops. The new laptop is configured to leave a copy
of the message on the server. The old is set to the default which is to pull
the messages off the server. Overnight his old laptop has been pulling his
messages off the server. Now this morning he used his new laptop again and
opened Outlook to discovered that messages that he knows were sent to him
overnight are not in his Inbox. That's because they were downloaded to his
old laptop overnight. So now I need to put those overnight messages back on
the server so he can download them to his new laptop.

Right, when you pop mail from a mailbox, they are removed from the
inbox, but not permantely deleted unless you have deleted item
retention set to 0. If you implement the DumspterAlwayson reg tweak on
a workstation, then log on to this mailbox with Outlook, highlight the
inbox and go to Recover Deleted Items, you should be able to see those
12 emails and you can recover to his inbox. Unless I am
misunderstanding your question

Never export to and import from a PST. There's no need and it loses data.

Ask the people who manage the Exchnage server if RPC over HTTP or VPN access
is available. Then he can connect tot he Exchange server using an Exchange
account and simply copy or move the messages back to the server. Moreover,
it will cure the problem of accidentally downlaoding and removing messages.
