• Answer:

  Hello - Ok, if I understand correctly, you now have Yahoo mail, and you'd like to export out the contacts you have in Outlook Express and give them to Yahoo? If so, that's possible. What you need to do first is to open Outlook Express, and then under File, choose Import/Export, and specify that you want to export out your address book. Provided you're using Win XP, then the next screen after you choose "Export Address Book" will be asking what format you want. You should see "Text File - Comma Separated Values", or something like that. Choose that. From there, you'll need to specify which fields you want to export out (I'd recommend all of them), and then what you'd like to call it and where you'd like to put it. I'd recommend saving it on the desktop. Easier to find. Ok, now that you have a data file consisting of your address book, then you can go into Yahoo mail and go into the settings menu and specify you want to import in an address book. Be certain you specify what type of address book (a comma separated value text file should be an option). That's it! Just follow the on-screen prompts and you're good to go! Good luck! Hope this helps!
