Copying the contents of eircom.net "send folder" to outlook express

    Copying the contents of eircom.net "send folder” to outlook express


    I am trying to copy all of my send items from eircom's email to my sent items in outlook express. I cannot seem to find a way to do this


    I have tried the following, copying messages from send folder to inbox in eircom.net, then hitting send/receive in outlook but they are not been copied down.

    I have also tried creating a new account in Firefox Thunderbird. They do not copy down from thunderbird either. (Only new messages copy down)


    Some of the messages I am trying to copy down are both read and unread messages. There must be some other setting in the header that suggests that they are not new messages as only new messages are being copied down in outlook express.

    I have thousands of message so going through each one and forwarding it to myself would be time consuming and also I would lose the date and who the message came from on the summary pane of outlook express.

    |Is there any way I can get the messages saved to outlook or export them in some format from eircom.net mail??


    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You can't do this as far as I know.

    In Outlook 2007 (not Outlook Express), when a new email account is setup, it downloads everything in the online inbox (new and old) during the first send/receive. Can't remember if previous versions did this or not.
    So if you move all your sent items to your inbox on Eircom.net it should download them.
    Outlook is part of MS Office so you may already have it on your pc.

    True enough actually, but there's no way to sync direct to your sent box in outlook. If you do as kaizersoze says you can just move them from your inbox to the sentbox in outlook - but I'm not sure how this would mess up the email header details.

    Yep it's removed from the POP server.

    However you can import your entire eircom.net webmail (even messages already read) into Outlook/Outlook Express here
