What happened to my old yahoo emails
If you’re like many people, you might have moved your email address and password to a new account or taken your old email address with you when you left your old job. But what about all the emails you sent from that old account? Maybe you signed up for a free trial of a product or service, or maybe you just sent out a few spontaneous emails to friends and family.
If you’ve ever had to go through and find all of your old emails, now might be a good time to start using an email archiving service like Gmail’s Inbox. Not only will this save you time, but it’ll also keep your email safe from viruses and other cyber threats.
Why have my emails disappeared from my Yahoo Inbox?
If you’ve been using Yahoo Mail for a while and have had trouble locating some of your old emails, it might be because they’ve disappeared. Here’s what happened: When you create an email account on Yahoo, we store your messages in a “local storage.” This means that your messages are only stored locally on your device – they’re not backed up or archived anywhere else. If you switch devices or wipe your hard drive, your old messages might not be retrievable.
How do I retrieve old emails from Yahoo?
If you have an email account with Yahoo, there is a good chance you might be able to retrieve your old emails by following these steps:
1. Log in to your Yahoo account.
2. Click on the “Mail” tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. On the Mail tab, select “Retrieve Messages.”
4. You will be asked to sign in with your Yahoo credentials. If you have not signed in recently, you will be prompted to do so now. Once you are signed in, select the “Messages” folder that you want to search and then select “Retrieve Messages.”
5. You will be given a list of emails that have been sent or received since your last login (or since the date of this article, if you’re reading it on Yahoo). You can select any of these emails and then click on the “Download” button next to it to download the email as a .txt file.
Do old Yahoo emails get deleted?
Your old Yahoo emails may be deleted if they are more than a year old and you have not used them in the past 12 months. You can also choose to keep your old emails if you want, but you will not be able to access them from Yahoo Mail.
How long are Yahoo emails kept?
Yahoo emails are kept for a minimum of 180 days and a maximum of 5 years.
How do I log into my old Yahoo email account?
If you’re signed in to your Yahoo account, you can access it by clicking on the “Mail” tab at the top of the page and entering your login information. If you’re not sure how to sign in, you can find more information on Yahoo’s support site.
Can I still access my old Yahoo account?
When Yahoo announced that it would be shutting down its email service on December 15, 2013, many users were left with questions about what would happen to their old emails. In most cases, the answer is that users’ email accounts will be shut down and all of the emails within will be deleted. However, there are a few steps that users can take to ensure that their old emails are still accessible.
First, users should check to see if their email address is still active on Yahoo’s website. If it is not, then users can try to create a new account using the same email address. If creating a new account fails, then users can try to recover their old account by entering their email address and password into Yahoo’s sign-in page. If recovering an old account fails as well, then users can contact Yahoo customer service for help.
Although it may be difficult to access all of the emails from your old Yahoo account, doing so can help preserve them for future reference.
Why can’t I access my old Yahoo email?
If you’ve been using Yahoo Mail for a while and you’re having trouble accessing your old emails, there could be a few reasons why. First and foremost, if you’ve changed email addresses or stopped using Yahoo Mail entirely, your old emails may not be accessible anymore. Additionally, if your email account was hacked, or your computer was compromised in some other way, your old emails may have been deleted. Finally, if you’re using a different email address on Yahoo Mail now, your old emails may not be automatically moved over to that account. If you still can’t find them, it might be helpful to contact Yahoo Mail support and ask them to help you retrieve them.
How can I recover my Yahoo password without phone number and alternate email?
If you have lost your Yahoo password, there are a few options available to retrieve it. One option is to try to sign in using your alternate email account. If that doesn’t work, you can attempt to reset your password using the phone number associated with your account.
conclusion
After many years of using Yahoo, I switched over to Gmail a few years ago. Recently, I realized that some of my old emails are still in Gmail, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere else. I’m not sure if they’re just buried in the archives or if they’ve been deleted entirely, but I’d really like to find them and archive them somewhere so I can keep track of what happened during that time period.
