I give up - how do you do that?
and
Why would you want to?
My third question would be what format are the emails are in now?
Get someone who's faster at copy and paste than you to do it and you might get it down to 12 hours.
Otherwise, I'd just dump them in a directory and have Google desktop index them so that you can get do them.

As Yahoo's free e-mail is "Internet only", meaning the files are located on a Yahoo server and not your hard drive, you can not back them up to a CD. You would have to do the "cut and paste", or get an e-mail that uses your hard drive for storage (anything that does POP3 with Outlook Express - like the paid Yahoo Plus, G-mail, etc) and then forward the e-mails to that new account (if not Yahoo Plus). Open in Outlook Express, and they would then be saved on your hard drive were you can drag and drop them to a CD.
