Put messages back on the server

[SteveB]

My company uses Exchange server 2003 and I have Outlook 2007 I installed it
on my home computer and when I logged onto the server it deleted the emails
from the server. Can I get them back to the server and how do I stop this
from happening again. Please Help

You probably had Outlook configured to use a PST file instead of your
Exchange mailbox as the default message delivery location and it downloaded
all of the messages to the PST. You'll need to configure Outlook to use the
Exchange mailbox as your default message delivery location and then copy all
of the messages back from the PST file to the Exchange mailbox. It won't be
hard but it might be pretty tedious depending upon how many subfolders you
have.

To change the default message delivery location you can go to Tools |
Options | Mail Setup | Data Files. Select the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox
(or similar) and click "Set as Default".
