How do I migrate my old emails from Yahoo to Thunderbird?

Thunderbird Installation and updates

We have used yahoo mostly in the past as our personal email address and for other email address to forward a copy to. We now need to move all these emails, contacts, etc. Can you supply instructions to follow? Thank you. montaya

P.S. A second question. Do we need to create a Thunderbird email address first?

There is no such thing as a Thunderbird email address. Thunderbird is email client software not an email provider. You will still need a provider.
