Trying to Download 25 GB of Yahoo Emails from the Yahoo Server

My computer's hard drive only has 14 GB free, but my Yahoo account has 25 GB. How do I use an External HD to Set up Thunderbird's default mail storage? I've tried a POP3 setup, and it informs me I don't have enough space to download any emails from Yahoo. My intent is to delete mails from Yahoo's server once they are on my external drive. Using Windows 11. Thank you.

Hello Marc, I believe this resource is a good start: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data. You can set a location for the profile on an external drive connected to your device!

Have a great day!
