How do I transfer ALL my information from one Yahoo account to another new Yahoo account?
-
I will be getting married soon and need to create a new Yahoo account as the old one contains my ex's last name. I have been using this account for over 10 years and have a lot of history here that I don't want to loose. So I would like to transfer all mail, contacts, avatars, My Yahoo pages, etc to my new account. Yahoo is the best mail out there, so I would like to continue to use it and not loose all I have bulit up. Thanks for the help.

Answer:
Not going to happen, sorry. If the email ADDRESS contains your ex's last name, there is not much you can do about it. If only the ACCOUNT INFO has that name, you can change that, in both your account data and the FROM part of your email. That is easy: From their HELP site: > Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page and select More Options. > From the list on the left, click Accounts. > Click Add or edit an account – it’s toward the middle of the page. > In the box on the left, click Yahoo! Mail. > Click Edit. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/basics/basics-20.html Your other options are to UPGRADE to Mail Plus and use a "disposable address" (see HELP link). http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/mailplus/addressguard/index.html?pir=S7DZS6FibUmpPQmdIUsYKRR3Aq.jyXXYGNb9CoxlLQeFyXQs35Pm4OCdfW4WPM30nFPPLpnQD..lBroTAULzDg.SmVU948evxQ20BwINJIIDZKMN.JyA__7aznyY0crO1h7rKgClWCDlYSnReTs__Mk8NBpAemyyqcpJ_68BaEOs042liuuu0Tp8qziUUxKMi82QFO1LLe94kW1_lvs8Udpdhy6rIrm2G5K.7C_Wp05QYYqi0m5NpxE30TA4_iRjebC3JEodkVqBmawlGCw6idi6GPONy0.v5cJLzSQtSBuY9ubIHNdMRJ0ZXVtie8vlavkvvsfd3my3NeYL.Y9vSA9BIEMkMS3wA.aFc5NBxeg- OR You would need to upgrade, "pop" all your old emails to Outlook or "forward" them to a new account, one by one, I think - import contacts - and still have to rebuild everything else like avatars, My Yahoo, etc.

THE EASIEST way is for you to create an ALIAS for your present account. This way you would not have to transfer anything. Your alias will show in the FROM line instead of your ex's. Any email sent to your alias OR if someone still sends it to the one you do not want it will go to the same inbox. I will also give you the link to advise your contacts what the new (alias) email address is. good luck ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++… Click the link below to get an extra email address for your existing account. It´s absolutely free. Use it just as you would for your primary address (which of course you can still use). To make things handy, you can send and receive email from either address from the same inbox. http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias?... You can sign in to either account by using the same password ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++… To notify your contacts of the email change click on OPTION...MAIL OPTIONS...go to the left side and click on ACCOUNTS..then click on ADD OR EDIT...go back and click on MAIL again...Under MANAGEMENT scroll down and click on ANNOUNCE EMAIL ADDRESS...once you are done with what you want the notice to say AND after adding your contactlist in the header click on PREVIEW AND SEND...when the new screen comes up and everything is as you want it...go below and send it.... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++… NOTE; If your old email address pops up in your FROM line when in the NEW, REPLY or FORWARD modes just click on the down arrow on the right side of the FROM line to bring the right one up. Click on it to place it in the FROM line.
