Bulk Export Yahoo Email?

[denzlite]

I'd like to get the heck out of Yahoo email. I've got a couple folders in there that I'd like to save, a lot of nostalgia email. Is there any way I can import all those emails in bulk into a new Gmail account or back them up somewhere? Thanks!

Yahoo! Mail doesn't offer this kind of functionality within its web interface. You can though use a 3rd party software that does allow the ability to forward multiple e-mails at once.

You can access your Yahoo! Mail from another email client or your mobile device using IMAP.
Use these settings when configuring IMAP:

Incoming Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port: 993 with SSL
Outgoing Port: 465 with SSL or port 587 with SSL/TLS
-It is necessary to enable SSL or TLS for Outgoing SMTP port.
Username: full email address (for example, free2rhyme@yahoo.com)
Password: the password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! Account

Since you cannot export directly from yahoo to providers like gmail you can enter this information into Microsoft Outlook to retrieve your e-mails to avoid agreeing to the new upgrade and still be able to retrieve your mail.
I was a Yahoo! customer for 18 years. Yahoo Classic is now gone. Yahoo's new service agreement allows them to scan all of your e-mail & I will not consent to that.

Thanks Judith1974, this was an excellent solution. Happens that Tbird on Ubuntu is preconfigured for IMAP access to the Evil Yahoo. I've got my mail and am closing the door on 10+ years with what used to be a reliable and friendly Yahoo. MS is disgusting... Kubuntu is freedom!

does that solution pull down all your folders? Or only your inbox?
