I've changed fm Yahoo to Comast, but lost all my old emails. Where can they be found?

The old Yahoo emails and associated saved folders are all gone, or at least, not visible. How can I find them? Seems like the saved folders should be somewhere on my computer. Thanks.

Two possibilities

  1. Mails are Archived
  2. It shows only new message according to your settings
  • Check your Archive Mail Folder
  • Goto Tools > Account Settings
    • Email Id > Syncronization & Storage
      • Disk Space >Check [x] Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age

Did you remove the old Yahoo account and the old folders disappears also? That is how it works. Next time move any messages that you want to keep into a folder under Local Folders before removing the old account.

This article explains how to get the old folders back.
