[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1582472, member: 46727"] First, let me say that I can't stand Yahoo and am beginning to feel the same way about AT&T after the hard time they gave my son regarding his iPhone account. The archived mail "should" open OK after importing back to your Mac. But you need to be careful, here's why: If the Mail app has been updated in the meantime, you may find yourself locked out with the old mail format. Attachments may or may not survive. I would back them up separately just in case. Moving the files off your local hard drive is fine and should make no difference. Personally what I do is save my long term archived mail to text and keep it in a special folder on an external hard drive. I also have clone of that hard drive for safety. [/QUOTE]
