Exporting Email from Outlook Express to SBC Yhaoo email
 

Hi:

For some reason, my emails got transferred out of SBC Yahoo email into
Outlook Express...they are listed there. How do I go about
transferring/expoorting the
messages back into SBC Yahoo email ? Does SBC yahoo use Outlook Express
under its User Interface ? If not, what does it use...?

Thank you

What probably happened is that you accessed the SBC account in Outlook
Express and didn't have set Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced,
Leave a copy on the server. So OE downloaded all the messages and
deleted them from the server. All POP3 mail clients have a similar
setting. Deleting the mail (not leaving a copy) is usually the default.

SBC uses the standard Yahoo mail web interface. You can also use any
POP3 mail client with SBC/Yahoo which would include all major mail
programs. It's your choice.

There is no convenient way to put the messages back. SBC/Yahoo doesn't
provide any message import. Nor does it provide IMAP access which would
be an alternative method. The only thing you can do is forward each
message to yourself. Besides being tedious, this alters the sender
and date for each message.
