Thanks for reply on restoring e-mails. Still hoping for solution on viewing already downloaded e-mails on my computer. Opening Windows Live obviously is not the answer without it downloading even more e-mails from Yahoo server! Would appreciate any thoughts on this part of question. Thanks!
recently decided on a whim to install windows live mail. OK...huge mistake. it immediately started to download messages from Yahoo e-mail server and evidently did not leave a copy. I stopped it but had already downloaded 2 months worth of e-mail. If I open again to do anything to program it...
