Hey guys,

So yesterday my boss asked me to sink up my outlook to a specific mail server. Unfortunately, I forgot to check the option for outlook to leave a copy of the email on the server!

Now all those email messages have been deleted from the mail server and are on my computer/outlook! I HAVE to get those emails back on the server, as they need to be accessed by other people!!

Please help me figure out a way to get the emails back on the mail server from my computer!! I know I can't be the only person this has ever happened to!

Thanks in advance for the advice!

You didn't provide any configuration details to work with.
If your only access to the server is POP3 then it is impossible. The POP3
protocol is server to client only.

But if we can configure it as something else, then it could be put back on the server?

And sorry, yes, it is POP access right now.

Unless you control the server, or the service running the server offers an
IMAP alternative, there is nothing that you can do to get the messages back
on the server.

What about IMAP, if we can set it up as that? Would that work?
