i just moved my girlfriend from yahoo mail to yahoo mail plus...so she can use apple's mail app.

works fine. and i imported her yahoo addresses. but..
she has a number of folders in yahoo mail, and i'm wondering if there's a way to archive them, or export them out, so that i could import them into apple mail.


anyone??

alas (unless someone here knows a way), seems i have to move EVERYTHING to the yahoo inbox, bring into apple mail, then RE-SORT into mailboxes on the mac..

migrating SUCKS...!

Is she using Yahoo over IMAP, or does Yahoo support POP as well?

Why don't you switch her account to IMAP?
