  • Select Inbox if you want your message to move into Inbox or any other folder based on your preference.
  • There is a flexibility of dragging and dropping your mail to any other folder.

  • To save the messages which are on Yahoo mail account, you can either download your messages received yesterday and today at your Yahoo Mail account or you can also forward all the emails automatically or manually to a different email address. This process helps you to save these messages from getting lost forever.
  • The next step is going to the Yahoo Mail Restore Help Form.
