Yahoo asks for an app password

Yahoo Help on 3rd-party app passwords says apps that skip Yahoo sign in need one app password, created under External connections on the Yahoo Account Security page. Yahoo Mail Migration Tool signs in by IMAP, so you enter that password in place of your usual one.

A handy toolkit

This is an amazing Yahoo mail migration toolkit. It helped me move my Yahoo mail files very easily. I would recommend everyone to try this super handy software.

Matt Page

Worked after other methods failed

I had to move my Yahoo mails to my PC for a backup. While I had tried a bunch of different methods, none of them seemed to work. A quick search led me to this tool and it has worked for me.

Lisa Smith

Simple to use

The Yahoo email migration software had a pretty simple UI, so I didn’t really face any trouble while migrating Yahoo emails. Apart from this, it handled the migration pretty smoothly, too. No complaints really.

David Price

Before migration

Prepare Your Yahoo Account for Migration

Three short checks keep your Yahoo migration clean.

Create a Yahoo app password

Open the Yahoo Account Security page, go to External connections and select Create app password. Paste the code into the password box.

Choose folders and dates

Tick only the folders you need, or set a date range in Advance Search.

Leave space for output

PST and PDF output needs free room on the destination disk, and a target mailbox needs free storage.

Prefer a file copy first? Use Yahoo Backup Tool before the move. Mailbox targets need the Business or Enterprise licence on the Corbett buy page.

Best practice

How to Keep Your Yahoo Migration Safe

A migration only helps if your mail arrives complete. Four habits keep your data safe through it.

Back up first

Save a copy of your Yahoo mail before you start. Keep 3 copies on 2 types of media with 1 copy off site.

Start with one folder

Migrate one small Yahoo folder and open a few emails in your target. Catch a wrong setting before a large job.

Check the count

Compare the message count in the folder tree with the mail in your target before you close the job.

Keep originals until checked

Store your Yahoo mail until counts match. Close the old account only after you open migrated mail.
