• Answer:

  Use archived messages. After you have donwloaded an archive of messages, you will have a .zip file on your computer. Your email messages, located within the .zip archive, are in a common email (.eml) file format. This format preserves the formatting and attachments in your orginal messages. Each file in the archive is named according to the original subject line of the email message. In order to view your messages on you computer, you have several options: Option 1 (recommended) -- Using a compression utility such as WinZip, drag and drop all message files from the .zip archive directly into your Outlook Express inbox or other Outlook Express folder. You can then sort, search, and read emails according to name, date, subject, etc. Messages archived and imported to your Outlook Express email client may be replied to or forwarded as normal. Note: Outlook Express is currently the only email client that offers this functionality. Option 2 -- Decompress the message files onto your hard drive, then double-click on each one individually. On most computers, your message files will open automatically within Outlook Express. Option 3 -- Decompress the message files onto your hard drive, then use another program to open each email message individually. Some programs, such as Netscape Mail, will allow you to open your message files from the File menu by selecting "Open..." You can also open messages using a common text reader by simply changing the file extension from ".eml" to ".txt." Please note that changing the file extension will not decode the message formatting and attachments. Important: Messages you choose to archive are saved as copies of your online messages and are for offline use only. If you choose to delete messages in your Yahoo! Mail account to free up space, your archived messages cannot be imported back into your Yahoo! Mail account.
