Hi Julee, I use both Yahoo and Hotmail for storing important information that I eMail to my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts from my AOL account. I've never have had a problem with either Yahoo or Hotmail deleting old eMail from any of the folders that I set up. However, there have been times, when the eMail I sent did not arrive immediately at Yahoo or Hotmail, but never not at both. I wait until the next day, and check to see if I have to re-send the eMail from AOL to either Yahoo or Hotmail. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5769, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY * L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH) Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, the two-day Jewish Biblical Festival of Rosh ha Shannah (Lev. 23:23-25) will begin at sunset on Monday, September 29 on the civil calendar.
