My next thought is to install YPOPS on your computer and use a mail program such as outlook express to download a copy of your emails :

Thank-you. I went to the download page and a ad on flat bellies moved over the page blocking my access to the download button. I am leery of viruses and of being forced to click on something to get rid of it as it could take me to a web page that just by visiting it can infect my computer. Once infected some viruses are virtually impossible to remove - been there done that no interest in doing it again.
Once I get send to a page that employs these tactics I worry about the quality to the site and the downloads - how to I know that Ypops isn't spyware or contains a virsus?
The only review is yours.
I cannot afford to waste time.
Your work around will only work if I eliminate everything else in the Yahoo folder first and by that time I may as well read them there.
I will pass on this work around.
