Moving contacts & emails from Gmail to Yahoo!

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.

    I have my Gmail account on a Mac. Do you have good operational experience with the transfer?

    Can you provide similar instructions.

    While this is a new Yahoo account. The favorates for that computer are in the Yahoo account. If I remove the favorates in the yahoo account with they be removed from the AOl and gmail accounts that are on the PC

    If you're having trouble with TrueSwitch, try out YippieMove (http://www.yippiemove.com). It will not only move your emails, but also transfer folders, which is something TrueSwitch won't.
