Import Contacts From Yahoo to Gmail

Most of us today have started using Gmail as our primary account as we moved from Yahoo or MSN to Google’s Email service. Many of us still feel the need to use Yahoo just because they might be used to it, and sometimes they don’t feel like adding again all the contacts from their address book. But most of them don’t know is that these contacts can be moved easily. Simply follow these to move your contact from Yahoo to Gmail.

• Login to your Yahoo Mail account
• In case you are you using Yahoo Mail Classic, go to Options –> Address Book –> Import/Export, and export it as a Yahoo CSV file.
• If you are using the New Yahoo Mail, go to Options –> Mail options –> Contact Option –> Import/Export and export it as a Yahoo CSV file.
• Save this file on your computer, and now login to your Gmail account.
• Click on Contact –> Import, and give the path to the file in the POP-UP window.
• Click Ok for the confirmation.
• Refresh it and you are done.

This process is not a flawless one, as I faced some problems with contacts. I found that it was not possible for me to edit the contact details, surprising isn’t it?Also the contacts added in the Yahoo Messenger only do come up in Yahoo Address, they didn’t match up either.These were some of the problems I found out, let us know if you find any more new problems.
