Missing Email Folders in Transition to Yahoo Email

I had a group of folders directly under the Inbox heading that I regularly transferred emails to, now that I've transitioned to Yahoo email those folders are not there.  How can I recover them?

@user_jm3y1 If the email has transferred at this time you would need to speak with Yahoo support. Once completed we wouldn't have any tools to troubleshoot the email given it's now with a different provider of the service, and we have no more access to it.

After a long conversation with a Yahoo rep, I was able to find my missing folder!  It may have taken awhile to migrate, but it's there now.

@user_jm3y1​ How did you locate the Yahoo rep. All of my folders are missing.

Since it is Comcast that is forcing the move to Yahoo, you would think that they would provide more assistance than to say contact Yahoo. While they won't have access to the Yahoo system they should be able to provide a FAQ list and escalate your issue to the proper Yahoo support team.

they provide no support. it really stinks since they forced this migration,

you would think that the would supply a minimum of support.

I have solved the problem. You could have made this Yahoo  migration much easier. When I called Xfinity help, he gave me the website of the 20,000 pages of Yahoo help, no phone, no chat, no email.

Thank you for the offer of help. But I was able to figure out the problem myself

I guess I should have shared this solution, because maybe other people can use it to solve their folder problem. My folders are missing on the Yahoo website. But on my Outlook client on the phone they were there. So I knew the folders were on the server. I looked around and looked at some documentation and it turned out that I just needed to widen the left panel of the Yahoo mail interface on the web and then narrow it again and voila, there were the folders. You have to be very sensitive because it's kind of like a very dim double arrow and you have to click it right on the border. This is Insanity.
