If you have a user forum, you could rerout it to them and just point me to its URL. I have had an account in the free "Classic Yahoo! Mail" mode for nearly a decade and I am very satisfied with it. However, I have accumulated a large volume of messages in my Inbox, which I plan to download to my own computer and then remove from Yahoo! servers. I am planning to subscribe to a "Yahoo! Mail Plus" account in order to make this downloading possible via POP3. Still, I have some questions - mostly only asking for a "YES or NO" answer on your part - regarding this process. Will I be able to have the "Inbox Folder" and the other current folders in my Classic Yahoo! account be ported over into the Yahoo! Mail Plus [Y!MP] account directly all at once? Will my current full address {[email protected]} continue to be the address at which my correspondence chums will be able to reach me as they have always before? The number of messages - some read and some unread - in the inbox is too large for it to be practical for me to attempt to download all the messages at once. I plan to use KMail (the KDE Email client - I don't expect you to know all about it - just to let you know that it's the one I'll be using to connect with Y!MP) to access my account. On Y!MP I can copy and paste groups of mail messages into chronologically labeled folders such as "All 2011 Messages." Is it possible for an an external mail program - such as Kmail - residing on my home computer to download ONLY from a selected Y!MP folder, such as perhaps "All October 2010 Messages"? I am worried that if only the Y!MP "Inbox" is addressable, rather than a folder with fewer messages, I may be SWAMPED with a deluge of messages which will require a long time to download and may practically be subject to interruption if my rural ISP has a "hiccup" in my internet service. So after that long introduction, here's the simple question. Can I download from one small Y!MP folder at a time, or must I dump the entire Y!MP inbox all at once? If I MUST download the inbox all at once, the most practical alternative I can think of to accomplish my mission is to copy ALL of my Y!MP inbox messages to a temporary folder and then recopy only a small group at a time back out to my inbox folder to download one small set at a time. I look forward to your insights on my download project.

• Answer:

  Here's an excellent advice. People won't answer your questions if you have a long list. It gets tiring, and even to me, this will seem like forever to answer. Try breaking up your questions into bits. Having a thousand questions on one answer page isn't wise, especially for answers.
