How to merge gmail contacts with yahoo mail
Merging Gmail contacts with Yahoo Mail is a bit of a process, but it's doable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you merge your contacts:
Method 1: Using Google Contacts
- Sign in to your Google account and go to Google Contacts (contacts.google.com).
- Click on the "More" menu and select "Export".
- Choose the format as "CSV (Comma Separated Values)" and select the contacts you want to export (you can choose all contacts or select specific groups).
- Click on "Export" and save the file to your computer.
- Sign in to your Yahoo Mail account and go to Contacts (contacts.yahoo.com).
- Click on the "Import" button and select "CSV (Comma Separated Values)" as the file format.
- Choose the file you exported from Google Contacts and click "Import".
- Wait for the import process to complete. You may need to map the fields (e.g., First Name, Last Name, Email) to match the format used by Yahoo Mail.
Method 2: Using Yahoo Mail's Built-in Import Feature
- Sign in to your Yahoo Mail account and go to Contacts (contacts.yahoo.com).
- Click on the "Import" button and select "Google Contacts" as the import source.
- Sign in to your Google account to grant permission for Yahoo Mail to access your contacts.
- Select the contacts you want to import and click "Import".
- Wait for the import process to complete.
Method 3: Using a Third-Party Service
There are several third-party services that can help you merge your Gmail contacts with Yahoo Mail, such as:
- ContactSync: A free online service that allows you to sync your contacts across multiple email providers, including Gmail and Yahoo Mail.
- Sync2: A paid service that offers contact syncing and other features.
Keep in mind that these services may have limitations and may not work seamlessly with all email providers.
Tips and Considerations
- Before merging your contacts, make sure you have the same contact information (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers) in both Gmail and Yahoo Mail.
- If you have duplicate contacts, you may need to manually merge them or use a third-party service to help with the process.
- After merging your contacts, you may need to update your contact lists in both Gmail and Yahoo Mail to reflect the changes.
- If you have custom contact groups or labels in Gmail, you may need to recreate them in Yahoo Mail or use a third-party service to help with the process.
