Thank you. In my desperation to get back my mails, i went to trueswitch.com
and entered my information to enable my mails to be copied out of outlook
express and back into my msn account.


You didn't tell us how you were seeing those messages in OE
so I assumed it was in your Inbox Local Folder. If it was being viewed
in some other context, e.g. in a Hotmail folder or an IMAP folder
then what you are describing might be able to happen.


That is, i entered my username and
password for my comcast.net account (remember comcast is my internet
provider) and username and password for my msn.com account.


What really matters is how you were seeing the messages using OE.



I got a confirmation email (in my msn inbox) from trueswitch informing me
that my requested mails have been copied and will be back into my msn inbox
within 24 hours. I looked into my msn account and saw a folder titled
'comcast folder' but i have yet to see the mails back.

I then went back to outlook express but it (outlook express) required me to
set it up anew. In essence, i did not see my added msn account anymore in
outlook express and unable to do as you have advised.


Looks like you have removed the problem from OE then.
So now it is in the hands of your ISP.


Good luck

If you setup the HTTP one then they will be there. If you used pop.live.com
| smtp.live.com then you will need to send them to yourself again

In TOOLS | ACCOUNTS

Double-click the account in question| Advanced tab & check the box to leave
a copy of the message on the server...

I set up my outlook express account (comcast is my internet provider)
today.
I also added my msn email account to outlook express.

Very surprisingly, outlook started and received/retrieved all the mails in
my msn inbox. That was not what i intended.

I need those mails sent back to my msn inbox. How can i achieve this,
please?

Thank you.

It's easy enough to send them back. The question you should be asking
is what could your other service do with them once you got them there?
That would probably best be asked in a newsgroup or on a forum which
specializes in that service.

In any case, what you could do is select them all and then use
Message, Forward as Attachment. Then E-mail that message.
E.g. if you did that with OE as the destination client you could
simply drag out the attached E-mails back into your Inbox
(or wherever else you would like to store them.)



Thank you.


Good luck
