Hi everyone - is there a way to export ALL emails from a Yahoo Mail inbox? I have tried right clicking on literally every single folder in the account, clicking on "ImportExportTools NG" then "Export All Messages in Folder" and it only exported like a maximum of 30-ish emails, minimum of 1 in each inbox. I also tried the ImportExport add-on and the sizes of the files were not right. I'm wondering if the files in the "ImapMail" folder in C drive contain whole thing?

Thanks so much for anything I can try at this point.

For an IMAP account, my suggestion is to - click 'account settings' for the account - click synchronization&storage and then the advanced tab - verify that all desired folders are marked for offline use - click File>offline>download to make all messages on PC - check that all messages downloaded by rightclicking and checking properties for number of messages. - now export the folders as you did earlier
