Your UMD Email Account

1. Find and open your moved inbox (it will be in the format mbox.2010.month.day). You should see all the messages that were in your inbox before it was moved.
2. Select (highlight) all of the messages you want to move.
3. With all your messages selected, drag them as a group back into your Inbox. Within a few seconds you should see all of the moved messages back in your inbox.

Of course, your inbox will be moved again the next night if you don't move or delete the messages with large attachments.

To find and delete large messages:

1. In your Inbox, click on the "Size" column. Your large messages will then be at the top or bottom of your inbox.
2. If you don't have a "Size" column you can add a Size column to your menu bar in most email programs.

POP email programs

If you use an email program using the POP (rather than IMAP) protocol you can't access moved mailboxes - only your Inbox. You can use Mulberry, IMP WebMail, or other email program that uses IMAP to access your moved mailbox and copy the messages back to your INBOX.
