I second what Gdkitty said. I used to do this at least ONCE to TWICE a year get in the habit of archiving my email account. I would go even further and if you select all the messages from your inbox, and drag them into a folder, it copies each individual message as a .MSG file and I would back up each individual message into a folder, zip it or archive it to DVD.
Because I had a small registered business I was required to keep a copy of my financial records for a good 7 years I also kept electronic copies of my emails because I had quotes and such in there and was required to keep a record of them so why the heck not just copy all my email and back it up right? so this is what I Did!

Greetings and welcome to our Community @Maxx!
Backing up your emails for safety or offline use is a good idea. Since Yahoo Mail doesn't have an export feature, it's important to understand what options are available.
- Print a hard copy
- Forward a single email to another email address
- Download your email from Yahoo Mail into a third-party app
- Copy and paste each email that you want saved into a text editor
I know you were hoping for an easy solution but these are the options open to you.

I agree, if you are not already using one, is to use a 3rd party program, even windows mail (or a better one like outlook etc) to download them.
You will want to do the POP setup, where it will download a local copy (vs imap where its more of a sync). With a little bit of work, you might even be able to connect your new email address to that same and be able to access those existing ones and reply to them, etc.
