Social media is for socializing. In business, email and written/typed
mail are still the preferred way to communicate.

Those old/saved emails can be copied to the new account.  That's what I
did when I began deleting my Yahoo accounts.

I can't remember all my account logins and passwords either.  Too
many.  I write it all down.  And I definitely don't store them on my
computer or cell phone, etc. to automatically log me in  Too easy to
hack.

Whatever works best for you.  But, at least, go into Settings for your
Yahoo Mail account and turn-on quoting for your replies.  You can also
create as signature which can be appended to all you emails, too.

Happy you got your Linux install problem solved.
