How do you export contacts from yahoo to windows live?

How do I import a grouped list of contacts from Windows Live Mail to Yahoo Mail?

• Some of my WLM contacts are grouped like in a sub-folder of contacts. When I imported all my contacts from WLM to Yahoo, the grouped contacts were not imported. Is there a way to import them as a group rather than one at the time? Also, how do I import contacts to Yahoo Mail from a csv file?

• Answer:

  With some mail services, Groups are not importable, but need to be set up again in the new mail program. The new 'Regular Mail' has a new Yahoo! Contacts Groups procedure. Follow these steps: 1: Select ‘New List’ from the contacts tab interface. 2: Give your new list a name - ‘Friends’ for example 3: When the ‘Friends’ list is created, select contacts you’d like to add to the list one by one and press the ‘Assign to List’ button. From the ‘Assign to List’ dialogue select your new ‘Friends’ list. (Side Note: You can also drag and drop these contacts into lists on most browsers. ) 4: Congratulations! You’ve created a list. When you’re composing a new email, your list name will appear as an addressable contact. Just type the list name as an address, and all will be added. NOTE: For privacy and security, use BCC to send to a group, and send To: yourself.
