But there are so many possibilities that both the account and the data stored inside can be impacted by external factors. These causes or factors may be hacking of accounts, contamination with viruses, etc. In Yahoo, all email items are saved in the cloud, but if anything is done that prevents you from accessing the server, there is a chance of losing data. Therefore, moving Yahoo mail to MBOX format is needed to keep the data safe. Also, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/export-yahoo-mail-to-eml\/\">export Yahoo mail to EML<\/a>. Now, let us move further to know the manual solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Export_Yahoo_Mail_to_MBOX_with_Manual_Techniques\"><\/span>How to Export Yahoo Mail to MBOX with Manual Techniques?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use either IMAP or the POP3 feature to migrate Yahoo mailboxes to Thunderbird. In addition, Mozilla Thunderbird also provides the \u201cFilter and Folder\u201d option that can make the process of importing easy and fast. Follow the steps below to execute the migration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firstly, Launch the <strong>Mozilla Thunderbird<\/strong> on your system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Display the Thunderbird<\/strong> Menu icon to choose the <strong>Account Settings<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, under the <strong>Account Actions<\/strong>, click on the <strong>Add Mail Account<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your <strong>Name, Yahoo Mail Address<\/strong>, <strong>Password<\/strong> and press the <strong>Continue<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>IMAP (remote folder)<\/strong> option and select the <strong>Manual Configuration<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here enter the following information manually and choose the <strong>Retest<\/strong> option.<br><br>(Incoming: imap.mail.yahoo.com \u2013 Port: Either 993 (SSL) or 143 (sometimes 585(SSL))<br><br>(Outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.com \u2013 Port: Either 25 or 465 (SSL) (sometimes 2525)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>After filling in all the required details<\/strong>, you can easily export Yahoo mail data to MBOX format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, hit the <strong>Done<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the end, click on the <strong>Read Message<\/strong> option, then you can check all the Yahoo emails in Mozilla Thunderbird.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the above process, users can export Yahoo Mail to MBOX effectively.
