My yahoo e-mail account was Yahoo-ed (one day, I logged in on it to find Yahho deleted all my e-mails (some of then important and others of sentimental value), due to account inactivity for a new arbitrary number of days not previously informed.

I fear this for my gmail. I now use mbsync (lieer[0]) to have my emails synced locally on my homeserver, and then browse it with notmuch[1]. It's an incredibly freeing experience to have all your email on your own machine.

For the exact same reason I started using MacOS Mail app with gmail, but I am realising now that it doesn’t download “all” the emails unfortunately. Lieer looks like a good option, thank you.

It's a great tool, it's just agonizingly slow sometimes because Google likes to throttle the connection when you make big changes. The initial download especially is slow, but the small changes thereafter are pretty fast.

my geocities account was destroyed, putting an end to my career as webmaster. I grew a resentment towards that website

Incidentally my angel fire site is still up for some insane reason

Same! Coincidentally, I recently backed up my Angelfire site from the late '90s. A lot of the original links were missing but thankfully they provide a `sitemap.xml` and I used HTTrack to make a local copy.
