Export your Yahoo! Mail address book to a CSV file
I just created an account in Imeem today. I’ve known about this service for quite a while now, but back then I didn’t have any reason to register there, that is until now. While in the process of completing my profile, I came across the “find friend” feature of the site. At first I thought, like other social networks, I’ll just login using my email account to import all the contacts from that address book to Imeem. But unfortunately you have to do it the semi-manual way. You have to export your address book contact then import them to Imeem. Most of my contacts are stored in my Yahoo! email, so I need to export it to a CSV file, then upload it to Imeem.
Here’s how I exported my Yahoo! mail contacts (address book) to a readable CSV file.
- Select mail options from the options menu located at the upper right corner of your Yahoo! mail.
- On the next page, click on Contacts Options. After you click on this, a new window will appear. This will open the address book portion of Yahoo!
- On the upper right corner of this page, you will see an import/export link. Click on it.
- Lastly, scroll near the lower portion of the page. Click on the “Export Now” button at the right side of the text “Yahoo! CSV:” Save the file on your computer.
That’s it.
You can now use this file on other websites that require you to import a CSV file. Like the one on Imeem.
