How many messages can I archive per session?

There's no limit to how many messages you can archive. To archive your messages:

  1. Sign in to your account at http://mail.yourdomain.com/ (be sure to replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name).
  2. Click the "Mail Options" link in the upper-right corner of the page, then select "Archive Messages."
  3. From the Archive Messages page, use the "Folder" pull-down menu to choose which folder you want to archive.
  4. Choose a date constraint using the "Date" pull-down menus.
  5. Click "Continue" to see an estimate of your archive size and download time. Please note: Archive time depends on the number of messages in your folder.
  6. Click "Download Archive" to download a .zip file (a compacted archive of your folder) to your computer, or choose "Save to Yahoo! Briefcase" to save your archive online.
  7. To view the contents of the .zip file, you'll need to open, or "unzip," it using a compression utility such as WinZip.

Note: You can take advantage of our archiving feature only via the Yahoo! interface. If you're a POP-only user, you can download and save your messages using your own POP-enabled mail program.
