Transfer emails from sky/yahoo to icloud mail

I have a sky email account and everthing was fine, with synchronising between imac, ipad and iphone. Sky has now changed from google to yahoo and synchronisation of sent emails seems to be non existent. I don't feel inclined to try and sort it out.

I have set up an icloud mail account and would like to transfer my emails from from my sky/yahoo account to icloud so that i have one integrated account. Is this possible and if so, how do i do it.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards, jon

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

I have managed to sort out the problem as follows

1. Use apple mail to connect to my sky/yahoo emails

2. Drag and drop the folders from sky/yahoo to icloud mail

3. Go and tidy the garage whilst icloud uploads the emails

All very simple in the end, its a pity that apple do not give any guidance that i could find.

Do you have a forwarding feature with your Sky/Yahoo account? If so have all emails forwared to your iCloud account.

When you respond to those emails from your iCloud account you can add a note to alert them that you now have a new email account.

Thankyou for the response. My concern with just forwarding the emails is that the dates well be the date of forwarding so i will have to open each email to see when it was sent. I really want to transfer the emails and keep the original date.
