Hi All,

Through Yahoo mail I can import my outlook contacts to my yahoo email account...

It says . ............ To transfer contacts from a desktop email program, you'll need to save your info into a file first. Either of these formats will work: .csv or .vcf.

The question is what file... ie. word document, excel spreadsheet. Anyone know the 'file' I need to use and then save as a .csv


thanks
:greetings

You can export your contact directly from Outlook into a csv file - just go into Contacts > Import/Export and choose Export To A File, Comma Separated Values (Windows). Outlook will ask you to provide a file name, and this will obviously be the same name you'll use to import to Yahoo.

Hope that makes sense - let me know if not!

Something not right...
