Denise asks:
I set up a GMail account, it took my emails from Yahoo Mail and transferred them to GMail. How do I transfer them back to Yahoo?
It was an accident because I didn’t know what I was doing. I meant to send my contacts list to a GMail account, instead I accidentally sent all my eMails to GMail and as it did this it was taking all my eMails from Yahoo and putting them in GMail account. Yikes, I didn’t want to do this at all. My business eMail is Yahoo and I am comfortable using Yahoo.ca Mail, not GMail.

1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page,then MAIL OPTIONS…you will be in the GENERAL mode…then click on CONTACTS.(left side of the screen)..once in click on TRANSFER CONTACTS TO YAHOO…
2. You will be prompted to re-enter your password as a security measure.
3. Next is a permissions page which goes over legal information. Click I Agree. If you’d rather not continue, click I Do Not Agree.
4. Verify that you’ve read the Terms of Service by clicking in the check-box. Click Start Transfer.
5. Enter the “old” email sign-in name for the account you’re transferring from, and in the pull-down menu, select the webmail domain it’s from.

Is there anyway we can transfer emails from Yahoo to Yahoo, because your method is no more applicable…

December 28, 2010I assume you used the “Import Mail and Contacts” and/or the “Check mail using POP3″ options in Gmail Settings > “Accounts and Import”. You’ll need to stop Gmail from checking your Yahoo Mail via POP3 and/or remove your Yahoo account in those sections to have Gmail not import or get your Yahoo Mail any longer.
As far as the messages that are already in Gmail and you want back in Yahoo, you can transfer them two ways: Applying a forwarding filter, or using a desktop mail client like Thunderbird to bulk move them back to your Yahoo Mail account.
For method 1, first, go to Gmail Settings > “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab. Click on “Add a Forwarding Address” which is first section, and type your Yahoo email. You’ll need to go to your Yahoo Mail account to verify that it is your account. Then, back at gmail.com, select all the conversations that you want to send to Yahoo, then click on “More Actions” next to “Labels”, and choose “Filter messages like these” from the drop-down menu. You’ll get a simple wizard to indicate what you want the filter to do. Click Next and just make sure you check the “Forward it to: [Your Yahoo address]” and the “Also apply filter to X conversations below” options before clicking on “Create Filter”. It might take a day or two to get everything in your Yahoo Mail account.
The second way, involving a desktop mail client, is described here.

January 7, 2011Jessica is spot on! Last year I moved all my emails from Thunderbird to Gmail, but after a while I decided to move everything to my old Yahoo account. But how to get my email archive from Gmail to Yahoo?
The trick is to set up an IMAP account in Thunderbird (or another email desktop client I guess) for both your Gmail and your Yahoo account, and then you can just drag and drop.
Good luck
