How to I transfer over my contacts and emails?

How do you transfer your e-mails and contacts to a different e-mail adress?

• Answer:

  Go to new Yahoo! Mail page, click 'Addresses', 'Addresses Options' ,'Transfer Contacts to Yahoo!', then enter your password, click 'Sign in', 'I Agree', enter your old and new Yahoo! Address and click 'Start Transfer' at the bottom-right of that page. Or you can transfer the contents of old account as mails and messages by forwarding them. Go to your mail place, select your folder as inbox, sent, bulk..etc,; click "Check All' blue text link below the lists and click 'Forward' button ,type your new address in 'To' space and click 'Send'. The personal profile will be created during sign-up to new account (you can edit it later) but the earlier profile is not transferable to that new one. The Yahoo! Answers account info as scores, levels, posted questions and answers, blog, group membership, contact buddies, friend lists of messenger and 360 account are not transferable How to transfer address book data from one Yahoo! account to another = http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/addressbook/impexp/impexp-16.html You could also use the "Announce Email Address" function; only instead of putting a new email in the message box, just enter in a message for selected people in your address book telling them that you are gone, and possibly when you plan to return.
