POP3 question

In a similar circumstance I would

Forward the messages to my own email id - you will lose the originators id - but at least you will have stored the messages - you could append the senders name to the subject line to help id the messages.

I set up another email address (those nice people at NTL gave us 15 to play with!) that is not downloaded by outlook.

I automatically forward messages from my normal email address to the new one thus they stay on the server and are accessible via webmail. Unfortunately it also means that the junk gets transferred as well but I don't get much of that.

If you forward the messages to your own email, they can be forwarded as attachments and will therefore still have the originators details in the original message. However, the subject line will say "Fwd" before the original subject. The from field will show your own name..... However, when you open the original message, you can then "copy to inbox" so you'll have an exact copy of the original.
When you send the messages, remeber to select "send" only and NOT "send and recieve", or else you'll get fresh copies of all the email again!

Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......

To answer your question, what do you mean by "unscathed"? If you mean like they have not been read, then probably no.

Yeah - I used Thunderbird and a GMail application to bounce a bunch of mail up to GMail, keeping the sender and date information intact. I was hoping I could do the same.

I've now just dumped them in an outlook folder, and exported them.
