Default Uploading Back to the Yahoo server...Please Help

"Gopi" wrote in message
...

I did experience the same problem.
As you said i have uploaded all the mails back to the hotmail server.
but
the big headache is --

Received dates for all the emails in the hotmail server is now
showing the
same date (date of the day I have uploaded to the hotmail server from
Outlook).


Because you just sent to your Hotmail account a slew of *new* e-mails.
So, of course, they will have the date when you sent those new e-mails
to that account.

but the received dates in the outlook is showing correctly.


Because Outlook or any other e-mail client will show when they got
pulled when originally received.

but in
the hotmail server AN EMAIL RECEIVED IN THE YEAR 2002 IS SHOWING LIKE
IT HAS
BEEN JUST RECEIVED & UNREAD.


You just sent it a NEW e-mail. Of course it will have the new date.
You didn't *synchronize* the e-mails from your e-mail client with your
Hotmail mailbox (and, no, before you ask, I don't know of sync software
to use between your e-mail client and Hotmail). You send new e-mails to
that mailbox.

Other thing, Most of the e-mails are now having attachment as
"WINMAIL.DAT".


You sent the the *new* e-mails (with the original e-mail as an
attachment) and you used RTF (Rich-Text Format) which should *never* be
used unless both sender and receipient are within the same MS-Exchange
organization and both are guaranteed to be using Outlook.

So the hotmail server inbox is showing more occupied space than
before...what a crap the outlook has done....


Not a problem with Outlook. The problem is PEBCAK (lookup the acronym).
You sent *new* e-mails to your Hotmail mailbox.

Very disappointed with this
Is there any soultion for this ?


Don't know the history of what was your problem or what you did since
you didn't describe it and instead tried to hijack someone else's
thread. Start your own thread to get help on your problem.

Once you yank e-mails from your mailbox, and with the default
configuration that has the e-mail client -- any e-mail client -- delete
the message from the server once that message is successfully yanked by
the e-mail client, it gets deleted from the mailbox and what you have is
the local copy of it. I haven't a clue why you thought sending *new*
e-mails to your own mailbox would use some old date for the attached
files (the original e-mail).
