ChrisM Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) Hey all I've done really stupid - my Yahoo POP email account was recently having some downloading issues to my Thunderbird email client. Anyway, I managed to delete the account - big oops!- losing all my emails . To be honest, most of them I can do without, but there were a couple which I'd like to rescue if at all possible. Looking at .Thunderbird I have 2 mail.yahoo.co.uk folders - 1 being the new account I re-created and the other related to the account I deleted. Inside the deleted account folder are various docs: looking at Sent.msf I can retrieve a number of messages in text format - opens with KWrite: (a lot of space is just continuous lines of characters which I assume are associated attachments?) However, opening (clicking on the icon) Inbox.msf just presents continous strings of characters - no obvious messages are apparent. If I copy this into the new account (replacing the other Inbox.msf) nothing happens either (for some reason I imagined that Thunderbird would open them). Anybody aware of a way I can retrieve these messages in either text format with KWrite or even through Thunderbird itself?

Ixthusdan Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Have you looked at the import function in Thunderbird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Have you looked at the import function in Thunderbird? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This doesn't import the file either. I'm sure there must be a way - I'll keep on looking/trying and if I get a result will post back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
