So how good is the Yahoo download? I've submitted three requests to Yahoo for my content. The first time I got nothing. The second time I got most of my messages and files, but none of the photos or links, no attachments, and it took two weeks. The third time it only took two days, but still no photos, and only one attachment out of the six groups.
I submitted a request on Saturday using my xxx@... email address and received a link on Monday to a 1.6GB zip file. This appears to have at least most of the content from the last twenty years from all the groups I'm still subscribed to, including files, photos, and links.
Most of the photos were saved as "files", but one group had "photos_and_attachments".
I did find that the links were not clickable, giving an "invalid target" message, but when opened in a text editor the content was correct. Here's an example:
