MemberI want to transfer my contact list from one account to another. Is there a way to do this? I was adding the contacts one by one, and after awhile messenger would not let me add anymore, saying it took to long to add the contact.

MemberI think there’s an option to mail your contact list to another person. You may want to try mailing your list from one account to the other. Let us know if it works or if you need more help finding it….you’d have to go into yahoo! mail to find it.

MemberHow would I mail it from one account to another? I see where all the contacts on my messenger list are also in my Address book for Yahoo mail. I also see where it says you can add contacts to your messenger list through Yahoo mail, too. I will try that also. But was just wondering the steps to mail them all at once from one account to another.

MemberWell, I could go though the entire thing and write it all out, but Yahoo! Help actually has it done perfectly! (YAY!! YAHOO!!!) So here’s the link. http://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/ab/impexp/impexp-14.html
It’s pretty straight forward, if you need anymore help though, just post. 🙂 Good Luck and I hope this is what you were trying to get at…remember, it’s pretty easy to add contacts from mail to messenger, just make sure to put the Yahoo! ID in the little space in their contact info and go from there, it’s kind of a pain in the behind….but a LOT easier than doing it one by one! 🙂September 9, 2004 at 5:45 pm #38464tarheel919
MemberThanks. That works great.

MemberThis post may be a little late but there is a program that automates the process of transfering your buddy list for you. Buddy Dubby. It’s made by someone named Striker. His site is no longer up, or has changed url’s. In any case I think it was a booter site, so I wouldn’t have been able to post the link. Here is a link from a reputable site and they scan all their programs for viruses and trojans. http://www.geocities.com/niri_mblr/#dubby.
