If you have an email account hosted on Yahoo Mail and want to migrate your messages to a mailbox hosted on mybox, you can do so directly from the mybox Panel using the built-in email import feature.
The migration process copies your existing emails from Yahoo Mail to your new mailbox without requiring you to download messages manually.
