Will I lose my email folders and contacts addresse...

Question

Will I lose my email folders and contacts addresses ??? 
Just this week changed from Talk Talk /toucansurf to a BT broadband and phone service.
I can access my emails ie receive and send from my new BT yahoo account and have good connection to the internet
BUT
Before I totally cancel my  Talk Talk account I need to know whether the
1)existing emails in my inbox
2) the emails that are stored in folders I have created
3) and my contacts address book
will disappear when I make the full switch ????
Thanks

You should be able to export your contacts to a file, then import them to your BT account. As for folders, if they are stored within the Windows Live program, they you should be able to save the contents.
If they are stored on a remote server, and you access them by webmail, then you may lose them unless you use an IMAP account to duplicate the folders on your computer, where you can save the contents.
Really this is an issue you need to ask about here http://www.talktalkmembers.com/forums/
as they are more likely to know how their email servers work.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.
