I dont know how to do this directly in yahoo mail inbox.
You can do one thing as under:
Open Outlook Express click on Tools>Accounts>mail>add a wizerd will appear
type your display name as u wish click next type your email address of yahoo mail click next here you type in the ist box(pop3) "pop.mail.yahoo.com" and in the box smtp type " smtp.mail.yahoo.com" both are without quote on the next page type your yahoo id and pw and the job done. Restart outlook express and click send/received when your net connection is on all the mail will be stored in your outlook express inbox.

Yahoo.com does not give FREE SMTP & POP3

Now coming to the problem

Go to options & change Mail per page to max ( 200 )

Go back to inbox , Select all mails & move

Do it 2 times & 400 mails will be transfered

But I configured my yahoo mail id with their pop3/smtp server and which woks file. Whenever I open outlook express while net connection is on whatever mail i received in my yahoo id get automatically transfered to my outlook inbox.

AFAIK Only Indian Yahoo Accounts(.co.in) get free pop3/smtp.

From the options menu, select showing 200 mails in the inbox at once.
Now select all the 200 mails and move them to a new folder.
It shall be a 3 time process, and all your mails will be in a new folder.
