Hi.
I use an old-ish Dell laptop, Firefox, Win.10 and Yahoo/AT&T email.
I would like to save emails as LibreOffice docs. I use the 24.8 LibreOffice Writer setting.
Thank you for your help!
not really a LO problem.
you should start with :
For some reason the link to the Yahoo Account Sec. Page takes me to my AT&T page, which has nothing to do with my Yahoo email.
How do you access your emails? With a messenger (like Thunderbird, Outlook, …)? With your web browser (e.g. Firefox, Safari, Edge, …)?
The “common” save format for emails is .eml. This format is intended to be decoded by messenger programs, not by LO directly.
I do not own a cellphone, so the only way I do is by exactly as I posted above.
Dell laptop, Firefox, etc.
Thank you for your help!
The best Firefox can do is save an HTML page displaying your email either as an .html file or a simple .txt one. As far as I know, Yahoo (web)Mail has no internal provision to save in any other format.
I did a copy and paste, which looks absolutely awful…I’m sure it won’t be accepted.
Thank you for trying to help me.

If you don’t use an email client, I suggest you try out Thunderbird ( www.thunderbird.net ). It is open source and has a big following. It can download from two different accounts and you get a local copy. Maybe you need to archive emails locally to free up space on your accounts.
