Go on File -> Save As and save the page...
That is the only option I think is possible, without the use of e-mail clients...

Or, If you are onli against Outlook express, try MS Outlook, Thunderbird, IncredimailXe, etc

If its an yahoo India account you can use Thunderbird, Incredimail or any other email client. Otherwise the only option is to save each mail separately using Save option of your browser window

do an auto-forward of your yahoo mails to gmail

if you use thunderbird as your mail client, then it will setup your POP3 account for gmail automatically - u will just have 2 enter username and password

Anything gets implemented on Yahoo.com first and then only at Yahoo.in.. even Yahoo mail beta was intially available only for .com users...only after few months it was made available for .in users...so if they have free POP3 service for .in , it naturally means it is available for .com also... :grin:

Offtopic! Does anyone know how is it decided whether we have .co.in domain or .com domain? The first email address I created way back I got domain as .com however when I later created one address I got it as .co.in

while creating a new e-mail id on Yahoo, u select ur country as India, it redirects u to Yahoo India server and u can see that they append a "@yahoo.co.in" to the ID which u enter...
So if u want a .com ID, select ur country as US...once ur ID is created u can change it to India anytime, from ur account info page..


And its better to have a .com id as many services on Internet do not support co.in domain...However with .co.in u get Free POP3 service :D:D as stated by frnds in this thread itself..

That's not there specially for Indians. Yahoo offers the same to users in some other countries as well
