So to cut a long story short:

account got hacked
i changed password
now evertime i log in i get told to chnage password

i have mails on there from a long time ago and i need to get them off yahoo and onto something else..

all i can export is my contacts..

I have set up a gmail account and i tried to import the mail from there but no luck.. error every time.

Anyone?

Are you getting the change password and not getting any further? Maybe its worth contacting Yahoo, to see if they can help

Scotia are you trying to access your email on an iPhone by any chance? my wife had this issue last week and was able to resolve by contacting yahoo customer care
