So, here's my problem. I was setting up a new computer for somebody yesterday, and they failed to tell me (or I failed to ask depending on your point of view) that they had their email set to leave a copy on the server. So once I set up their email it grabbed several hundred emails and they now only exist in their Outlook.
Does anybody know how to get the emails back on Telus' system, or are they SOL?
Next question, how many of you leave your email with a copy on the server like in this instance? I thought it was pretty rare.
And finally, does anybody know of a good utlity that will allow Netscape mail to be exported into Outlook or OE? I have copied the email over, but OE doesn't recognize it as being Netscape mail.

I never do it for POP accounts like Shaw or Telus. The have incredibly small size quotas, and it causes me to miss emails. In fact, I'm starting to move away from using my Shaw email account now. They make it so damned unfriendly, that it's just pointless to use it. Small mailbox, no external SMTP service, blocked ports, etc etc.
I do it for IMAP accounts like GMAIL, though.
I pretty much just stick with GMAIL and my MobileME account now.
Edit: Whoops, as for the first question... I believe you're SOL. You can always phone Telus, but I'm pretty sure they won't do anything.
