Question by Josh M: I made a new email account and wanted to know if I can transfer all my emails I receive from my old mail to my?
New Email.

The thing is, I’m a writer and have a contract,I’m a Jazz musician,full time college student, and other things.Basically, half my life is my email and if I were to literally contact all my contacts to give them my new email, it will take me hours or even up to two or three days.I’m pretty sure you can send your old emails to your new one right? Instead of doing it the old fashion way.

oh hell yea, u think they would leave u hang like that? who would make a new account after that? anyway I assume since ure here ure using yahoo if not we’ll try and cover it there are several ways
in yahoo just click “options>mail options” and then click on “General preferences” and then click “send contacts my new address” of course this requires all ure contacts to be in there and from what it sounds like adding them could take days the long way so the short way is to “export” your contacts to a file and then “import” the file into ure new mail and poof! all your contacts are there
another way is to open a new message and use the “add from contacts” or “insert addresses from contacts” or what ever then select everyone (ctrl+a) and click the “To:” and it inserts all your contacts in the field (personally I would use the Bcc: so as to not share everyone else’s address with all of ure contacts) this is probably the best way even though it’s manual u still do it with just 1 email to everyone, it’s easy
no matter what mail service or program u use just open a new message and insert all your contacts from the insert option as they all have that option
good luck
