Apple support tells me there is no way to transfer emails and rules if I create a new account. I have to recreate a new account because I changed my yahoo password and all the server settings are not displaying in the Mail Account Settings. Their advice is to create a new account. This is nuts. Has anyone figured away to save rules in MacOS10.15?
Now my rules are working as expected. I don't know why that one email wouldn't be moved but since then rules are working to move messages to the designated folders. And it does not appear that any thing was lost by deleting and re-adding an account. I don't know why tech support didn't know this. It caused me much unneccessary angst.

Well, I gave up and deleted the yahoo mail, but I think it was IMAP. Before I did that, I added my husbands yahoo account (IMAP) and made sure the rules were there. When I deleted my yahoo mail, neither the rules nor the saved email disappeared as tech support said they would. When I got my yahoo account re-added (IMAP), I am now getting email but I think the rules may not be working right. I tried to add a new rule but when it asked if I wanted to apply the rule, it did not move the email to the specified folder. As for who told me this, it was Support Chat. I got passed off to a senior advisor who told me yes, I could keep my email and rules, but the call got cut off. When I reconnected I was told that deleting the account would remove the email and rules. I still have no way to changed the password (the server settings are missing)
I can't for the life of me figure out why you were told that!???
Rules work on all the accounts, but on Yahoo Mail was/is it POP or IMAP?
Mail Preferences>Accounts>Account Information>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): >Server Settings...dropdown>Edit Server List.
Sweet, take care Melinda. :)
