Some email services will allow you to "fetch" mail from another service. For example, I think it's possible with gmail to configure it to log in periodically to your yahoo account and fetch the email.

I run a hosting business and our email stack supports this feature. We use a combination of open source technologies to transfer email like imapsync for the initial transfer and then use a glorified version of fetchmail in a cron job.
