You can copy a single contact or your entire Yahoo! Address Book to Microsoft Outlook 97, 98, 2000, XP, or 2003.

To move a single contact (or a few) from Yahoo! to Outlook:

Open your Yahoo! Address Book and…
  • Click "Import/Export" in the upper-right corner.
  • Under "Export", click "Export Now" next to "vCard, Zip of .vcf files".
  • A dialog window opens and gives you the option to save your Yahoo! Address Book to disk as a .zip file. Save this .zip file to your desktop or somewhere else on your computer. It contains each of your contacts as an individual .vcf file.
  • Now, open this Yahoo! Address Book .zip file wherever you saved it by double-clicking on it. The open file window displays your contacts listed alphabetically. Each contact is an individual .vcf file.
  • Drag the .vcf file(s) you want to add to Outlook onto your desktop. Or, save to another location of your choice. OK – ! So far so good.

    Now, open Outlook and…
  • Choose "Import and Export" in the File menu.
  • Choose "Import a VCARD file (.vcf)" and click "Next".
  • In the window that opens, find the .vcf file that you just dragged onto your desktop or saved elsewhere.
  • Double-click it, or click it once and click "Open." OK – done! This contact is now in your Outlook contacts. Repeat steps 7-9 for any additional .vcf files (contacts) you'd like to add to Outlook.
To export your entire Yahoo! Address Book to Microsoft Outlook:

First, export information from your Yahoo! Address Book:
  • Open your Yahoo! Address Book and click "Import/Export" in the upper-right corner.
  • In the Export section, click "Export Now" next to the phrase "Microsoft Outlook."
  • A dialog window opens and gives you the option to save your Yahoo! Address Book to disk as a .csv file. Click "Save to Disk".
  • Click "OK". The .csv file will be saved to your desktop.
Next, import that file into Outlook:
  • Open Microsoft Outlook 2002 or 2003.
  • Open the "File" menu and select "Import and Export."
  • Select "Import from another program or file" and click "Next."
  • Select "Comma Separated Values (Windows)" and click "Next."
  • Enter the location and name of the .csv file you wish to import, or use the "Browse" button to select the file to import.
  • Select "Do not import duplicate items" (or one of the other options) and click "Next."
  • Select the "Contacts" folder and click "Next."
  • Make sure to check the box next to the file you wish to import, and then click "Finish" to import your chosen file.
