How to Migrate Yandex Mail to Microsoft Office 365 Using IMAP Migration: Simple Steps
If you use Yandex.Mail exclusively on the web and in your browser, all messages are stored exclusively on the server (except for the backup copies that Yandex keeps, of course). How about having your own copies on your own computer or backup tape?
How about combining these copies with your preferred email client? How about the speed and convenience it offers for your Yandex.Mail messages? How about using, for example, Gmail, Outlook.com and Yandex.Mail side by side without combining and forwarding the accounts?
With IMAP access to Yandex.Mail, you not only get copies of your Yandex.Mail emails as they arrive; you also get access to and can use any folders you have set up online for organizing email (while Yandex.Mail labels are unfortunately not available). Whether you delete, archive, flag, or mark an email as unread, your actions are automatically synchronized with Yandex.Mail on the web and in other email clients that also have access to the account using IMAP.
