Here is another idea for you to think about. Google/gMail which allows you to import your messages and contacts automatically to your gmail account. What the program does is it checks to see if you have mail at Yahoo and imports yahoo mail into your gMail account. From gMail you have already set up Thunderbird to import as I outlined before and now when it imports your Yahoo mail it will also be imported to Thunderbird as well. Basically you no longer need this program and the negative vibes won't happen any longer.
Go to gMail settings/accounts and import/import mail and contacts Cheers On Sep 5, 4:59 am, Cricri <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > I have 7 mailboxes: 2 Hotmail, wife has 2 as well, 1 GMail, wife as 1 > as well, and I have 1 Yahoo.
