Resending Emails to Original Inbox

[Justin]

Help! My boss signed in to the Outlook on my computer because he wanted to
use my contact list. Once he did, Outlook imported all his e-mails and now he
has nothing in his original inbox. Is there any way I can move all his emails
back to their original place?

Are you networked? if so, you can give rights to your contacts and he can
access without logging on to your computer.

We aren't networked.

You could export your contacts and have him import into a separate folder.

Yes, but is there a way I could get all his emails back into his original
inbox? He had a years worth of emails saved on his Comcast email, but now
their all in my Outlook and he would like to get them back.

You set up a PST to be the delivery location, correct? Is this an Exchange
account?

No way to get it back. You didn't configure the POP account correctly and
now it's too late.

I don't know what that means. He went into "Account Settings" under the
"Tools" tab and clicked "New" under the "email" tab. Now, it has his email
listed there and it's identified as a "POP/SMTP" type.

Can he just open the pst on his bosses computer and move the mail back to the
inbox?

I don't know what that means. He went into "Account Settings" under
the "Tools" tab and clicked "New" under the "email" tab. Now, it has
his email listed there and it's identified as a "POP/SMTP" type.

And since he didn't select the option to leave the mesasges on the server,
he screwed himself.

back to the inbox?

That's a good idea. Move the PST to the PC where he usually works, and then
copy the messages to the folders there. However, since the stated goal is
to put them back on the server, it still doesn't solve the problem.

Another thing, since these emails go way back, burn a copy to cd or dvd for
backup.
