Open a new account and then forward all your saved messages to your new account.

Answer 2

Hello,

The difficultly is that you dont say which type of mail program you are using, is it a web based mail program or are you using Outlook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird, @mail, Eudora and so on. Or is this purely a web browser based email system?

**Almost all email programs like those above do have some method of saving your old emails or archiving them, for example in outlook I can save my old mail folders including the contents i.e. old mail to a .pst file.

**You can often save individual mesages to a .eml file in Outlook or Outlook Express but that is slow & time consuming. I know you want to bulk save your messages or export them or import to a new program.

**I'm not familar with Yahoo's mail system but I would be most suprised if the program didnt allow you too store or save emails. Check with any online help inside the Yahoo mail program or if there is a support phone number or email for support you could try asking them?

**incidentally junk mail & spam is just a sad fact of email life, we all get varying amounts of the stuff. If spam is a problem you could look at an excellent anti spam program like Mailwasher pro which I highly recommend. see http://www.mailwasher.net or also http://www.firetrust.com

**Also see http://www.0spam.com (works with any type of email account or email service) Oh!! and its totally free for x1 pop3 account.
