How to import Google contacts to Yahoo?

How do you import a Yahoo! csv file into contacts?

  • I exported my yahoo contacts to a Yahoo! csv file. I made some edits and saved the csv file retaining the same format. In Yahoo! Contacts, I want to delete all of my contacts and then import the edited Yahoo! csv file. The only option for importing are Facebook, GMail, Hotmail, and other. Clicking on "Other" allows several other options but still I see nothing for a Yahoo! format csv file. How do I import a Yahoo! csv file? It seems to me that this ought to be the very first option that is provided.

  • Answer:

    You can import any or all of your contacts into your Yahoo! Mail account from most major email providers and from some social networks. The email providers and social networks that we currently support importing contacts from are: another Yahoo! Mail account, Gmail, AOL, Hotmail / Windows Live / MSN, Rediff, Facebook. For this to work, do NOT delete the Contacts list before Importing. To import your contacts from one of the above listed account types into your Yahoo! Mail account, please follow these steps: 1. Click Options in the upper right corner of your inbox. 2. Select Import Contacts. The Import Contacts application will load into a pop-up window. 3. Click the checkbox next to the source or sources of contacts that you would like to import. 4. Enter the email address and password information for the account or accounts you selected. 5. Click the checkbox above the button labeled Continue. This will give Yahoo! permission to obtain contacts data from the selected source. 6. Select the contacts you would like to import to your Yahoo! Mail account. 7. Click Import. 8. To notify these contacts about your new email address, select the contacts you would like to notify, or select all contacts. Then click Notify & Finish. 9. If you do not wish to notify these contacts about your new email address, please click Skip Notification and Just Import. The only thing that can be imported directly is the Contacts list. Open the Contacts list in the other account > Tools > Export > Yahoo CSV > Export Now. Then type in the 'captcha' letters to prove you are a human, and click Export again. Choose Save to download the file. (It will be saved wherever your machine usually saves downloads, or Browse to select your Desktop - easiest place to find it) Then follow the same steps in the new account, except select Import and Browse to find the CSV file called 'yahoo_ab.csv. You can also print your entire address book or the contacts in one category. 1. In your Yahoo! Contacts, click Tools, and then select Print from the menu. 2. Select a Print option of Your entire Address Book, or select a Category from the pull-down list. 3. Select a Layout of Detailed View or Basic View. 4. Click Display for Printing. All of the contacts from your Print option appear in a Web page organized into a useful layout. 5. Use the browser's Print option to print a copy of the pages.
