I currently check my emails online from http://rogers.yahoo.com. This brings up an online email client where I can create folders, save settings etc and store my messages.

Is it possible to import all my folders & messages from online into Outlook or Windows Mail?

I currently use Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2007.

Thanks in advance? :thumbsup:

According to the page below, you can set up an email client for your mail access. Hope this helps.

http://help.yahoo.com/us/rogers/tutorials/cg/cg_access4.html

After you get the client set up, let it download your inbox. THEN create a folder for temporary use, move the inbox contents to the folder.
Next create folders with the same names as your web based mail folders.
Move the messages from one folder to the inbox, open up the email client, download, then move them to the newly created folder. Repeat this process for each folder.
Finally, move the contents of the Temp folder back to the inbox.

If you have any questions about the client you set up, all you have to do is ask, and someone will answer them.

POP E-mail, which is what you want, is available only to premium accounts, and there are instructions for setting this up in Outlook Express in the Help file under E-mail. If you are not a premium subscriber, Gmail offers POP E-mail, and is free.

According to the website I linked to from Rogers help, it is possible for the poster to set up an email client for his mail access.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Hi-Speed_Internet

"Rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet is a broadband internet service provider in Canada, owned by Rogers Communications. Rogers previously operated under the brand name Road Runner in Newfoundland.
