Moving contacts & emails from Gmail to Yahoo!

Prashanth on August 27th, 2007

As written in my previous post I am switching to Yahoo! If you want to find reasons for switching read on here. Mails & contacts of Gmail can be easily moved to your Yahoo! account with 3-4 clicks! Yahoo in association with true switch offers you this amazing service. Here we go step by step :

  1. Login to your Gmail account & disable POP access if it is enabled. It will be in disabled state by default. You can achieve this by going to “Settings –> POP & Forwarding“.
  2. Login to Yahoo! mail & click on options. In options click on “Address Book“.
  3. Now click on “Transfer contacts to Yahoo!” option as below.
  4. Fill your gmail ID & password, Select what all you want to move (contacts, mails).
  5. Finally you will get a confirmation message that requested emails & contacts will be copied to Yahoo! in 24 hours.

    This doesn't work. It only allows me to transfer emails to a @xtra.co.nz address whereas I want to transfer to my @yahoo.co.nz address.
