Steps to sync Yahoo contacts with Outlook
It’s really frustrating when you desperately need to find someone’s contact details and you can’t seem to immediately find out which online account you’ve linked to them. Better to gather all your contacts into one central repository. The steps will show you how to do the same for Yahoo.
Step 1: Log in to your Yahoo account, open the email interface and navigate to Contact navigation.
Step 2: Find act button, expand it and click the option for Export all.
Step 3: On the next page you will find many options. Select the required output format. In our case, it would be one against Microsoft Outlook.
Step 4: You will be prompted to download the file in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. Save this file and note the location.
Step 5: Now, open the MS Outlook interface and access Document. Select options for Import and Export.
Step 6: On the Import and Export Wizard dialog box, select the type of import you need. Here it is Import from someone else programme or file.
Step 7: Next, you will need to select the file type. Since the file saved in Step 4 is in CSV format, we choose here.
Step 8: Browse for the file (where you saved it in Step 4) and also indicate the import type for duplicate entries (if any).
Step 9: Select destination to sync files viz. contacts to. Obviously you will choose contacts. But then it is likely that you have maintained multiple files for that.
Step 10: Give a green signal to end the operation. It will clone in a few seconds and then you will be able to access all your Yahoo contacts from your Outlook interface.
