This is my first time using Microsoft Outlook and I was
setting up an Email Account for Yahoo Mail (POP3) I
didn't know to check "Leave a copy of messages on the
server." and now my Yahoo messages are all in Outlook,
but deleted from the Yahoo server. Does anyone know how
to restore the messages on the server, or any way I can
syncronize the inboxes so that my emails can be accessed
online/from Yahoo again? Thanks.

POP clients can't synchronize back to the server. That's just not how the
POP protocol works. Once the client has them and the server had deleted
them, that's it. You can always forward them back to your Yahoo! address,
but that's all you can do.
