How to put messages back on the server

by accident, I set up an account that deleted received messages from teh server. I believe that I set this up as a pop account. Is it possible to put messages back on the server? I couldn't see an option for this and it is important that I be able to check these messages via webmail.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Before doing anything, I encourage you to make a backup copy of the entire ~/Library/Mail folder, in case something goes wrong (quit Mail first). You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
You cannot have two accounts of the same type in Mail with the same username and incoming mail server. You can, however, set up two mail accounts with the same username and incoming mail server IF the account type is different.
That is, if you really did set up this account as POP, you can set it up also as IMAP in Mail without deleting the POP account first. You should, however, disable Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Include when automatically checking for new mail (but keep Enable this account checked) for the POP account, to avoid it interfering with the IMAP account. You can then move any messages to the mailboxes of the IMAP account where you want them to be.
EDITED: The above assumes that the provider of this account allows you to access it as either POP or IMAP, and that you chose POP by mistake. If POP is your only option and the mistake is just that the account was configured to remove messages from the server when in fact you didn't want to do that, then that's a different problem...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

    HOW TO PUT MOVIES BACK IN THE CLOUD ON IPAD

    You can't put films in the cloud yourself, whether they will show in the cloud for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in, if the rights-holder allows redownloading, and if the film remains in your country's store. You can delete a film from your iPad via the Edit button at the top right of the film select ion screen in the Videos app or via Settings > General > Usage > Videos (that should also give you an Edit button top right of the screen or you can swipe/drag across a film form right-to-left) - but the film might not then show in the cloud for redownloading. If you haven't already done so you should connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take your own backup copy of your downloads (apps, ibooks etc could also be removed from the store and not be redownloadable in the future).

  • How to put aps back on my iphone 5 after latest 7.0 update?

    I did the latest update of the IOS from apple and a few of my apps, (i.e. Pandora and Facebook) do not work.  Any suggestions?

    In the subject you ask how to put them back on the phone. That is done with the sync process in iTunes. Then you ask in the thread, how to make them work? Not sure about that, since you do not say what they are or are not doing.

    How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

    If the Mac mini shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier, install Mac OS X 10.6, update it to 10.6.8, open the Mac App Store, and download 10.9.
