Easy-Email

I'm new here... I don't understand about synchronization... Here's my challenge:

I use Outlook Express as my primary email client. My ISP/email provider is AT&T which very recently forced me to change my email system to their Yahoo Mail platform. I have configured OE to download from the Yahoo Mail system.

However, as I can only get dialup at my home, I cannot devote a lot of time to downloading large files; so when I notice that there are large ones to download, I interrupt the process, go online to my AT&T Yahoo Mail account and sequester the large files into a different folder. Then I return to OE and download the rest. (Note here, that for some reason, we dialup customers are being subjected to a Yahoo limiting factor of a total of 500 KB per downloading sessison).

Here's the problem: I cannot figure how to retrieve the large files from the AT&T Yahoo Mail folders, onto my home computer, when I go to a public computer to read my webmail. While the "old AT&T" offered an archiving utility which zipped my selected messages and then downloaded that Zip file to my flashdrive, the new AT&T doesn't offer this.

So I installed Thunderbird Portable onto my flashdrive and configured it to retrieve my AT&T Yahoo mail, onto the flashdrive.

Problem is, I can't figure how to extract my messages from Tbird Portable into my OE in bulk (i.e. without dealing with them one at a time), or to any folder on my computer. From Tbird forums, I think that they might be ready to add this utility, but in the meantime, I'm not getting what I need.

Plus, when using ppublic computers, like at a library, we cannot invoke the portable program. So I have to find a friend or relative with high-speed in order to use the Tbird.

Should I try a different portabile email client program? Which one? I prefer the free ones, of course...

Now, I'm not sure how to use this Synchronization thing offered on Easy-Email. Is this what i should be looking at?

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for posting your question here.

We are not aware of an easy way to import emails from Thunderbird into Outlook Express in bulk via the file system.

The Easy-Email solution addresses the challenge of keeping your email synchronized across multiple computers and makes it easy to manage all your email in one window with one login (if you have more than one email address).

Our solution synchronizes your email via the internet, so I am afraid that this will not be of much help in your particular situation.

Sorry we can't be of more help here.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll have to keep looking...
