Moving folders from Web-based email to Outlook 2003

I used my "comcast.net" email account through the web and recently set it up
to use Outlook 2003. Only my inbox transferred to Outlook. I had folders,
and emails in those folders set up in the web-based format. How do I get
those emails/folders from the web based application, to Outlook?

If I were doing this, I'd move the current contents of the Outlook Inbox to
another folder (CTRL-A to select all and Edit>Move to Folder to move), then
use the Comcast web interface to move the contents of an on-line folder to
the Concast Inbox. Outlook will then download it into its Inbox and you can
move the data to its folder. COntinue this way until all the messages have
been downloaded and finally move the original Inbox contents (that you moved
in the first step) back to Inbox if that's where yuou want it. POP
protocols know nothing about server-side folders. They only understand the
server-side Inbox.
 
Thanks. I will try that.
