Can folders in yahoo mail be downloaded

Unfortunately, Yahoo Mail does not allow you to download entire folders of emails as a single file or archive. However, there are a few workarounds to help you export or download specific emails or folders:

  1. Export emails as a CSV file: You can export individual emails or a selection of emails as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. To do this:
    • Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
    • Select the emails you want to export by checking the boxes next to them.
    • Click on the "More" menu and select "Export" > "Export as CSV".
    • Choose the export options and click "Export".
  2. Use the "Print" feature: You can use the "Print" feature to save emails as a PDF file. To do this:
    • Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
    • Select the email you want to save as a PDF.
    • Click on the "More" menu and select "Print".
    • Choose the "Save as PDF" option and select a location to save the file.
  3. Use a third-party add-on or browser extension: There are several third-party add-ons and browser extensions available that can help you download emails from Yahoo Mail. Some popular options include:
    • MailStore: A popular email archiving and backup tool that supports Yahoo Mail.
    • Email Downloader: A browser extension that allows you to download emails from Yahoo Mail as a ZIP file.
    • Yahoo Mail Downloader: A browser extension that allows you to download emails from Yahoo Mail as a CSV file.
  4. Use IMAP: If you have access to your Yahoo Mail account using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), you can use a third-party email client or app to download emails from your Yahoo Mail account. To set up IMAP access, follow these steps:
    • Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
    • Click on the gear icon and select "Settings".
    • Scroll down to the "More Settings" section and click on "Account".
    • Look for the "IMAP" section and toggle the switch to "On".
    • Note down the IMAP settings (server, port, username, and password).

Keep in mind that Yahoo Mail has limitations on the number of emails you can export or download at once. Additionally, some features may not be available if you're using a third-party add-on or browser extension.
