Is it possible to transfer emails from @live. ie address to @yahoo. com

On the web -- see here, but it could be lengthy process

If you use outlook or thunderbird application, there is option to export all mails to PST file, then you can import into any account.

Not sure if yahoo has option to import without mail client. thunderbird is free

Is there any way of doing this process faster? Maybe burn them to a CD/DVD?

If you have outlook or thunderbird installed on PC/lap - its just few minutes, bit longer if mailbox huge.

Before you do export, you need to ensure your mail client sync entire mail, not just one year as default on outlook, not sure how its set in thunderbird

Long is online

No need of "burning" anything, unless want to keep backup copy of historical mail, but not on CD/DVD

What does this mean?

Sending of the message failed.

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Content conversion limit(s) exceeded; STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:ConversionFailedException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message [BeginDiagnosticData]ExceedsLimit ConversionFailedException: ExceedsLimit[EndDiagnosticData] [Hostname=AM7P191MB0597.EURP191.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM]. Please check the message and try again. This message comes up when it reaches 100%

Yeah I still am trying to move or export. I'm trying to find a way round it. The reason I'm doing this as I'm getting loads of spam. I keep blocking and I keep receiving them. so i set up another account so I want to move them all

smuggler.ie

fair enough, however, spam follow the user/user habits. For spammers, and this no longer done by humans, makes no hassle to shoot messages to leemaree@makes_no_difference_what_domain_you_are.on They will do to all of them and even with variants like leemaree1@ , leemaree2@ .....leemaree500@

I am more familiar with M$ outlook, but think even in thunderbird you should be able to:

1.load your both accounts, let them fully sync(download all messages)

2.move your messages from one account to another by simply dragging message-by-message or entire folder within thunderbird. Don't do crazy in one go, split it in batches, let it sync, rinse-repeat

If you're looking for spam protection on a free email address then Gmail is really your only man, I have an old yahoo email address that I use for entering competitions and the like and its a complete sewer, Yahoo are not in a good way these days.
