Jul 31, 2016 Click the Mail menu in Mail and select Accounts. Uncheck the Mail option for accounts you no longer want to use Mail with. Mail will stop downloading emails from those accounts. But this isn’t enough! Disable the email account and the emails will no longer appear in the Mail app, but they’re still stored in your offline cache.
I’m planning to close my Yahoo mail account, but I often find the need to search my files for old emails. I’d like to house them on a harddrive and still be able to search them.
There doesn't seem to be any way of finding old emails I received on Yahoo unless I responded to them in which case they're in the 'SENT' file. Can you please tell me if there is a way to go back to older ones than three days ago which fior some reason have been emptied from my trash (not by me)?
yes, indeed mail store home is the best solution out there, go for it
MailStore Home is designed specifically for this task. Best option around that I have found.
Thanks, it sounds perfect. WIsh it supported Macs.
Set up thunderbird to download your message to your computer, but not to delete them from your yahoo account. That way, you'll have everything in both places.
If you want to have thunderbird copy your organization etc, and always Sync with yahoo, use IMAP. Otherwise, you can use POP - this will just download everything, but not sync, so when you move things around in Yahoo they will not move around in thunderbird.
use mail manager. mozilla thunderbird from this link - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/download

Mail User Guide
Mail can filter junk mail from your inbox, based on what it learns from you when you mark email messages as junk or not junk and the settings in Junk Mail preferences.
Tip: If you don’t like spam, make sure the junk mail filter is on. Choose Mail > Preferences, click Junk Mail, then verify “Enable junk mail filtering” is selected.
Mark messages as junk or not junk
In the Mail app on your Mac, select a message.
Do one of the following:
If Mail incorrectly marked the message as junk: Click Move to Inbox in the message banner or click the Not Junk button in the Mail toolbar (or use the Touch Bar). Mail moves the message to your Inbox.
If Mail failed to mark the message as junk: Click the Junk button in the Mail toolbar (or use the Touch Bar). Mail moves the message to the Junk mailbox.

If you’re sure the filter accurately identifies junk mail, select “Move it to the Junk mailbox.”
To set up other actions, select “Perform custom actions,” then click Advanced.
Note: To make sure the filter’s database is used to identify junk mail, don’t change the default condition “Message is Junk Mail.”
Select options for exempting messages from being evaluated, such as messages received from people who use your full name.
To include in the filter any junk mail detection inherent in messages, select “Trust junk mail headers in messages.”
