Sounds too simple to not know how to do it....but it doesn't seem that the venerable Yahoo gives you a way to do this.

Maybe they want you to buy a bigger mailbox.

Well, you have to at least pay for the expanded service (either 10 or 20 bucks a year) so that you can get POP access.

Then, go into whatever folder you want to download and mark everything as unread (click the "check all" link and the "Mark as Read" dropdowns.

Then use Mail.app to talk to pop.mail.yahoo.com - it'll download all of them.

I recently used Mail Forward to download about a year's worth of emails from my Yahoo! account, about 4.3MB, to my iBook. It's shareware, but if you only need to use it once or twice then you don't need to pay as there's a 30 day trial period.

if you upgrade to the mail plus account, you can do an archive of an entire folder into a zip file that can be imported into whatever program you want. also bumps up your storage levels, gives you pop access, allows additional filters, etc.
