Danger associated with preserving Yahoo mails

Thunderbird E-mejl importować a eksportować

I have been trying to archive my 25 years of Yahoo mail before they delete most of it. I thought I had it done. Now I have had to start again. Did you know that setting Thunderbird to ISAM download all your emails will only get the first 10,000 of any folder with more than that in it? Yes indeed, so it seems. We have to set the yahoo download server to the 'export' server. prefix the existing name with 'export'.

I am locked out of my yahoo accounts now. And the attempts I made earlier to delete stuff to make room have deleted stuff that never got downloaded/archived because from a folder with more than 10,000. That's how it goes. Just thought I'd warn anyone who might be as unknowing as I was. I took advice to the contrary and believed it.

Just to clarify: Thunderbird has no limits on anything, not on anything. It is an email client that does what it's told to do. IMAP accounts, with many tens of thousands of emails, are downloaded to PC as part of the IMAP protocol. I have no experience with Yahoo, so cannot comment otherwise on your unfortunate situation.

Just to clarify, the server name needs to be export.imap.mail.yahoo.com.

Stajće prašenje

Dyrbiće so pola swojeho konta přizjewić, zo byšće na přinoški wotmołwił. Prošu stajće nowe prašenje, jeli hišće wužiwarske konto nimaće.
