Danger associated with preserving Yahoo mails
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.
Yes. It is the yahoo server is the problem as I said. we have to use the 'export' server else we will think we have everything but we will not have everything

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