Outlook 2003 Question

Guest

I have Comcast internet and use Outlook 2003 for e-mail on my computer. My
wife sometimes uses my computer with Outlook but most of the time uses a very
old laptop for internet access and e-mail directly via her comcast account
(her laptop does not have nor could it handle Outlook). I set her up for
Outlook mail on my computer. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that it
essentially cleans out her comcast email account each times she uses Outlook.
As such, when she logs on to her comcast email account on the laptop, none
of her 150 or so emails are there (they are now all in Outlook). Two
questions: First, is there a way to set up Outlook so it copies all of her
Comcast emails each time it is opened but still leaves them in her Comcast
account (so she can see them on her laptop). Second, is there an efficient
way to get the 150 emails now in her Outlook back to her Comcast account (The
only way I can think of is to forward them one by one or in groups of 10 or
so to my email account and then forward them to her email account. After
checking on her laptop to see that they arrived I can remove her Comcast
account from Outlook so they don't get sent back again. The downside to my
solution is that the e-mail will all now show my name instead of the original
sender.)

Thanks for you thoughts.

In OL, for the comcast account, leave copies on the server

Unless Comcast web mail has an import option, you would likely have to
forward the mail back
