yahoo mailing

I wrote this freeware email program to save my Hotmail account emails, which, when saved as html using file then save as, would usually mess up the email address. I can't tell you how many emails I saved that way and lost the email addresses of my free martial arts ezine subscribers before discovering the right way to save emails with my email save freeware program.

Actually you can use this freeware program to copy anything to a text file. You don't have to worry about overwriting another text file because the freeware email save program will name the saved file the time and date the file is saved.

You'll be given the option to save your email in the location of your choice by editing the ini file SaveHotmailByRick.ini Follow the directions in it they are very simple.

A menu will pop up giving you your options. The freeware program will highlight your email on your screen and save it to a text file named the time and date of save.

It's pretty simple. I use it to copy my emails for my free martial arts ezine, Combat Martial Arts Ezine and all of my ebooks.

My Yahoo account has a link I can download my emails to so I put that in the most recent upgrade. Just click on the radio button that says downloadfile after you click on the link to download your yahoo email.

Yes, use YahooPOPs, an excellent Open Source application.

I use it frequently to pull down all my messages from Yahoo - into my outlook express. This allows you to avoid paying the pop3 fees from yahoo and prevents your mailbox from exceeding their quota of 4 megs..
