How can you transport all your emails from one mail server to another mail server?

Question

Is there a way you can transport all of your email on, like mine, a yahoo account to another account. I have been using yahoo for over a year now and i switched accounts to a verizon account. How can I take all my emails from yahoo and put them in my yahoo account. I want as little actions as possible, but please still do whatever even if it takes long. Thanks!

Well, the bad news is that you will basically have to forward each message one by one to your new e-mail address.

Here are my two cents. Since Yahoo Mail is free, and will likely be forever, you are likely to use it beyond what ever time you decided to change ISPs. So I would suggest you stick with your Yahoo mail unless for some unthinkable reason it is not good enough for you.

Think about all of the sites that you may have use your Yahoo account to register with. If you switch now you will have to reregister with all of those sites with your new account. And you are likely to forget some. So you will end up checking two accounts for a while anyway.
