I had my imap account set up on my computer and my phone. My computer crashed, and as a result, somehow, all my emails got deleted off the server and off my computer. They are, however, still on my phone. I am afraid to synchronize it back with the server because i think that will delete all the emails off the phone as well. is there any way to recover those emails off the phone and place them back in outlook or something? any help is appreciated. thank you

Are you sure that your email has been deleted from the server? IMAP keeps the messages on the server, so a local computer crash shouldn't cause them to be deleted.

In that case, I don't think there is much you can do. When you sync your phone, it takes the server as being #1, and the server will say that those messages no longer exist.

You could try to forward each message back to yourself from your phone. Then when you sync the messages on your phone will be sent to yourself.

If you don't do something like that, then they will be lost. Sorry. :?
