How do I save emails from yahoo to my computer or CD?
I have had a problem with a hijacked yahoo account and I could not access my emails. The problem was resolved, but for the future I would rather save my emails on my computer, and eventually to a CD or memory card. How do I do that?
The emails are not in my inbox. They are in separate folders.
Simple instructions would be appreciated.

FREE Yahoo! email? Can't download! (Sorry...) Bypass, tedious:
Open each email, in turn. Highlight its entire contents. Copy. Create a new document on your computer's hard drive. (Use Word or Notepad or Wordpad or ...whatever.) Paste. (Don't forget in the new document to note the date and sender! You could copy and paste these from the original, too.) File the document. (For all these, maybe create a folder, named "Yahoo_email" to make it easy to find.)

Your email internet site shops the messages, no longer the computing gadget itself. yet once you had to maintain a working checklist, reproduction and paste your emails right into a notice rfile or different notice processing utility, and burn the rfile onto a CD. you're able to try this various cases-- one hundred cases as mandatory till the CD is crammed. A rfile or documents CD does not ought to be burned unexpectedly like a song disc.

Simple. Do what I'm doing and dump Yahoo and use Earthlink's Webmail. You can do just what you want with IT.
After losing an entire folder of over 300 emails because of a Yahoo glitch (Error Code 2) I'm dumping this crappy product. Free? It should be, this advertising riddled bug-fest is not worth a dime.
