Bob, althought you've been lucky that you have not lost any data you sent to your Yahoo account, keep in mind the on line accounts do not back up user data. People have been know to loose their email when a system like yahoo, hotmail, etc have problems with their servers etc. So you should still make a backup copy you keep, somewhere.
