Hey all,
I have Yahoo mail and I was looking for a program that would allow me to download all pics (or the entire email with pics) from an email I received, to my computer. My brother sent me a 3 emails with a crap-load of photo's. One-by-one will take a looooong time. (yes, I do have broadband).
any ideas???

are they attached like another type of document, or embedded in the email?

I believe they would be considered attachments. I can download one at a time but it would take a long time.

If you use some such other email program, such as thunderbird, or the normal windows mail, you can download the message to your computer, and it should also have all the attachments. I haven't used one in a long while.


For that, you would need http://sourceforge.net/projects/yahoopops/ and, i would suggest, thunderbird. ( http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ )

You should be able to download them all to your computer...

hey, it looks like this should do the job when coupled with yahoo pops. - http://sourceforge.net/projects/yahoo-ripper/

Hey Vaerli,
I think it will be easier just to get Mozilla Thunderbird. Thanks for your help !!!

to use thunderbird in conjunction with yahoo, you need ypops though(unless you pay for the pops service), and then that would work in conjunction...
