Hi, how do I transfer my Gmail contacts into my Yahoo account? Thanks in advance!?

Hi; There are two ways to get your gmail contacts in to Yahoo! mail contacts. One is to let Yahoo do it for you, but it can take up to 24 hours. The 2nd way is to do it yourself by exporting the contacts from gmail and importing them in to your Yahoo! account. I'll list both ways and let you decide. To havce Yahoo do it for you. Log in to Yahoo Mail! and In the upper right hand choose "Options" then select "Import Contacts". A new window appears with directions of what to do.


To it yourself, You export your gmail contacts list into a .CSV file (comma delimited), then you import that file to your Yahoo! Mail contacts like this:


1. Log in to your Gmail account and on the left side click Contacts


2. Click Export in the lower-left corner of your Contacts list.


3. Choose to export all contacts (gmail groups don't transfer correctly so don't count on groups being in Yahoo mail... this has been a known problem that is still being worked on by gmail)


4. Select the CSV file format (to export your contacts to).


5. Click Export and then choose Save to Disk then click OK.


6. Select a place on your PC to save your file, and click 'OK.' (Remember exactly where this is so you can find it to upload in to your Yahoo! Mail contacts!)


7. Log in to your Yahoo! Mail and


a-1) if using Yahoo! Classic, click on the Contacts tab at the top. on your contact list upper right select Import/Export. A new window appears. Go to step 8 below


OR


a-2) if using the new Yahoo! Mail, in the upper right select mail "Options". On the left side of the Options page is a list. At the bottom select "Contacts Options". A new window appears. On the right Select Import/Export. Go to step 8 below





8. choose the default import file format "MS outlook *.csv.


9. Go to: "Specify the file to import: " and Click the "browse button" to go to where you saved (in step 6 above) the gmail .csv file


10. Click the "Import Now" button





If you don't mind waiting 24 hours for the contact list to be available in Yahoo! Mail, it's probably easier to have/let Yahoo! Mail get them for you. I never tried it that way though.
