I am switching from GMail to Yahoo Mail because they have a Basic HTML version on their site. I am trying to transfer some of my e-mails over to Yahoo. Right now, I'm doing this via Thunderbird by selecting them and moving them to the other account. When it works, it's great. But after awhile, GMail always stops working, and I am no longer able to search, even on the site itself, for a time. I need an easier way to do this. I am not referring to forwarding mail sent to GMail, as that only works for recent messages. I also don't want to transfer everything, as there are many things I don't need. Does anyone know of an accessible and efficient way that I can do this? Do any programs exist that would allow me to search by sender or keyword and then just move those e-mails? If not, would someone here be able to create such a program? Any solution given must work with NVDA, and preferably Windows 7, though I will use 10 or 11 if necessary. Thank you.
