Any way to transfer email addresses?

11 years ago

I use yahoo mail on this iPad. They,'ve been trying to make me use their new app for many weeks now.....so I decided I better download the thing. I guess I thought it would automatically transfer my address book....well not yet.

Can anyone explain IF this can be done or am I stuck with re-inputting the information :(

Sync supposedly handles this :

Also for general Import :

You can also export from your regular Yahoo Mail contacts as .csv or .vcf , then import those into the app.

Very useful links from kbarb. Of note is that it says it's not a true sync but rather just a download from Yahoo to the device (nothing goes in the other direction). If it hasn't happened yet, give it some time, or try rebooting your ipad and starting up the app again.

I find that custom-built apps (like the one for Y Mail), whether in IOS or Android flavors, are easier and faster to use with web-based information than using browser access.

It look me a while to figure out who mystic and bubbles were...more coffee! How are you accessing these two accounts -- desktop mail software (e.g., Outlook) or online. If the latter, are they from the same provider (e.g., Hotmail)?

you can export contacts you can also dig around and find an email address or forms to get answers from yahoo custome care, perhaps undelete ur account .. or to maybe get your email account working. When they delete the account they still have the account data for a month or more. Think I read if your account is inactive for 4 months they close and then delete it. I have one account that is seldom used and they close it constantly and then offer to open the account as a new account when i try to login. Here is a link that might be useful: yahoo export contacts

Thanx, Bob. I was really afraid of what Randy and Mikie were saying. I didn't want to challenge it, but I sure haven't cancelled my DSL yet LOL. I can access my mail through both my ATT/Yahoo home page & mail page and through Yahoo and Yahoo recognizes me, but Yahoo does not control my email account. Not where access is concerned, only the technical aspect. It might stay there forever, but whether I will be able to access it is another question after ATT cuts me off. I really appreciate each of you trying to help. Wish there were some way I could just do a forward in batch, but I guess not. Thanx again.

Transferring saved emails from one inbox to another?
Q

I'm planning my high school reunion and I have emails saved from the previous two reunions with information in them that I need to have access to to read and reply to. All this reunion planning is clogging up my personal email for friends and family so I set up a new email address to use just for reunion planning. While I have that inbox open, I don't have access to folders that are associated with my personal address so I'd like to transfer them over somehow. If I have to, I'll forward everything but I'm thinking there is another way.

Thx for the suggestions. Couldn't figure out whether to try the cvs or the VCF.

Decided to reboot and see what happened...three days later, it worked!!! Now have my address book.
