How do I export my Yahoo Mail address book?I would like to transfer my Yahoo email address account to a new yahoo email address account. I've done it twice before but can't figure it out this time. I'm running OS X. I'm not completely sure I understand your question, but I think you're asking me about how to export your address book and them import it into your new Yahoo Mail account. That's actually not too difficult with Yahoo (unlike some of the other online email services). To export addresses, you need to log in to your Yahoo Mail account and click on the Addresses tab:  You can see on the top right the "Import/Export" link. That's what we'll be using for this task. Click on it, scroll down just a wee bit and you'll now see:  You'll want to choose the latter of these four options, "Yahoo! CSV" (CSV = comma separated values, by the way), and click "Export Now". That creates a file called "yahoo.csv" that's saved to your computer and you've exported all of your addresses from your Yahoo! Mail address book. When you've moved to your new account and got it set up, use the same "Import/Export" feature but this time select the data file in step two of the import capability:  The choice on step one should be "Yahoo (.CSV file)", you can skip step two, then push "Choose File" on step three to identify the "yahoo.csv" file that you previously saved, and push "Import Now" to make it happen! A second or two later you should see your newly populated address book with the message:  That should get you going. In terms of moving messages from one account to the other, there's no easy way to accomplish that in Yahoo Mail, so you'll probably need to have both accounts open for a while as you wind down use of your old address and begin use of your new address. Good luck to you.

Do you know how I can fix this problem so I can see what is in my yahoo email. Thank you in advance for your help. CJ Posted by: C.J. at July 18, 2009 6:45 AMSomeone hacked my yahoo account and changed my information and I can't log into my account. I want to export my e-mail contacts to another e-mail address. How do I do that? Posted by: Donna at August 5, 2009 5:35 AM NEW Yahoo Addresse Book is the MOST stupid change from the old system-why ?1)It is very slow in downloading the addresse.2)It always hangs.Now how can i get back the old system without the downloading activity?With the NEW system I am trying to transfer names from one category to another catergory-with this new system it cannot be done !In the past all the addresses in my various category work fine for many years but all of a sudden 90% of the categories do not work with the message which say " some addresses are not right "?How can this be when it has been working all the time.If a NEW CONTACT email addresse can be saved into the Addresse BOOK can i assumed that the email is CORRECTLY entered ?With this problem I suppect that someone must have crept into my addresse book and disfigured some email addrsse in most of the categories to make it not workable.Can you please explain how can this happen?I have about 5000 addresses which is the maximum Yahoo Mail can save. 2)Since i m in a publication business is that any other Email Account which can accept UNLIMITED contact addresse book ? My Yahoo E-mail has changed recently and I don't know why. I am still using Windows XP and don't have a problem with it. Until recently when I wanted to forward a message I had received, I could click on "Forward" and a screen would come up for me to address the message. Then I could click on "insert addresses" and my address book would come up. I would then click on the persons I wanted the message to go to and they would be inserted. At that time I could click "Send" and the message would go to all the names I had checked. Now when I click on "Forward" to send a message, I don't know where to find my address book. The options I had before do not come up and I don't know how to use this function anymore. Can you help me?
