I recently opened up a gmail account, and want to do away with my old yahoo email. My question is, is there a way that I can transfer all my saved emails from my yahoo to my gmail without having to forward all of them (I have hundreds)?

I don't think there is, but figured I'd ask to see if anyone knows.

Thanks.

I don't think you can.

Use Gmail to access your Yahoo! Mail account. In other words, under Gmail settings, add your Yahoo! Account email address - that will send a confirmation email to your Y! email.

I don't think the Gmail option would work unless you are able access your Yahoo mail via POP3. This option is only available in Yahoo! PLUS for around $20 per year...

Even if you did access the yahoo account via POP3, which you can with the free version(requires a sort a separate POP3 emulator), you would still only get new messages not any old ones same with Kram's idea.

That I disagree with - at least for me, it loaded up all my old mail from my old inbox by default.

I see how Yahoo! does not allow POP3 by default and how that is a problem - that is probably your largest obstacle. I unfortunately did not see that, looking currently at my Y! settings.

I must admit, I've been extrememly lazy and still haven't tried that. Been busy trying to OC.

Once I do, I'll post back with the results.

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd post the solution for anyone else that was looking.

I used ypops to transfer all my yahoo email to my windows mail account.
