Importing Yahoo emails into contacts list

I have 3 Yahoo email accounts. There are different email addressess saved in each account since they are used for different things. Some of the email addresses are saved into the contacts app on my iphone 4s (where the phone numbers are) but there are a few missing. When I go into mail, obviously they are all there. I just don't know how to actually get them all into the contact list where you also keep phone numbers. Under settings, mail etc the contacts slider button is on for all 3 accounts.
I hope I'm making sense!

go to settings > mail contacts and calandars , then select each account and verify whether the slider for contacts is turned on
Hop that helps

Bulk Import into contact list error.

Hi,
We are testing out the bulk import into contact list feature and we are getting an error that we can't resolve. We followed the directions from the documentation http://topliners.eloqua.com/docs/DOC-6918
Here's the sample request we are making:
URL: https://www02.secure.eloqua.com/api/bulk/2.0/contacts/imports
Request Header:
Authorization: [our token]
Content-Type: application/json
Request Body:
"name": "test",
"fields": {
    "emailAddress": "{{Contact.Field(C_EmailAddress)}}"
"syncActions": [
      "action": "add",
      "destination": "/contacts/lists/63"
"identifierFieldName": "emailAddress",
"isSyncTriggeredOnImport" : "true"
Response Body:
    "failures": [{
        "field": "destination",
        "stackTrace": [{
            "field": "syncActions"
        "value": "/contacts/lists/63",
        "constraint": "ML Statements must have a ContactList root (see http://topliners.eloqua.com/docs/DOC-4298 for details) (when action = add)."
Is there a step we are missing?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Benny,
In syncActions, instead of: "destination": "/contacts/lists/63", please try: "destination": "{{ContactList[63]}}".

How do I import my Mountain Lion Contacts list into Maverick

I updated my Macbook Pro from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and I was able to get everything working except the contacts list. In Mountain Lion I had my contacts listed populated but my Maverick contacts list is empty. For some reason the updated system no longer finds the contacts list which was used in Mountain Lion but it must be on the disk somewhere. Where do I find it and how do I get the Maverick Contact application to read OR import the Mountain Lion Contact list? (I do have a time machine backup).

Megan,
Do a Mail Merge from AddressBook to a Pages Document. The User Guide has details on doing the merge.
After you get the merged document, there will be only one contact per page, but that's easy to fix by doing a search and replace to get rid of the Section Breaks.

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar. WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address. How do I engage the contact list from the email?

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email. When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced. How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

Importing AOL Address Book/Contact List into Apple Mail Program

This is probably an old and already answered queation, but it has just come up for me. Does anyone know how to export the AOL Address Book/Contact List so it can be imported into the Apple Mail Program? I would like not to have to reinter all the address when I drop AOL.
@ GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.4) No DVD

The AOL Service Assistant works fine for transfering the AOL contacts to the Apple Address Book. However, I was unable to get the AOL favorites to tansfer to Safari. It keeps hanging up with the rotating basketball. Any further suggestions?
466 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) No DVD

When composing a new email, my Contact list says I have none... I have over 100 !

The TO box used to auto fill when I started typing if an address was in my Contact list. The + at the end of the area for an email address says I have no Contacts

The mystery, however, is I have no problem with my email and contacts when I log into Safari..... Using the same Yahoo provider !

Trying to import Entourage Emails into Apple Mail

I recently purchased a new Mac (Mountain Lion) and am trying to import the emails from my old Mac. I was previously using Entourage but I want to import them into Apple Mail.
My old Mac will not restart but I have a copy on time machine. I think I have located the correct folder (and have copied it to my desktop):
My User Name/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/Database
However, when I click on the Import Mailboxes option in Apple Mail, it only gives me the following options:
Apple Mail, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to proceed?
Many thanks
Claire

One method which is manual is as follows.
With the Apple Address Book and Entourage address book launched and both positioned so each is partially visible, select the Address Book "All" Group.
Select a contact in the Entourage address book and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Select All to select/highlight all Entourage contacts.
Click and drag all selected/highlighted contacts to the Address Book Name column for the "All" Group and release.
After selecting all Entourage contacts, you can also try Edit > Copy.
Select the Name column for the Address Book "All" Group and at the Address Book menu bar, go to Edit and select Paste.

HT1430 email and contact lists

If I delete account from iphone and then re-register that account will all contacts and appointments be rentered or are they lost

Hi sunchuan_joseph,
Welcome to the support community!
Could you provide a bit more information please so I can better assist you?
Are you missing individual contact entries or entire contact lists? If they are contact lists, are you missing multiple contact lists or one only? If they are individual contacts, are they all from the same contact list?
How were these contacts originally added to your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone?
Can you please provide more detail on the second issue with your Yahoo! email? Is this the same email account the missing contacts you previously mentioned were associated with?
Is this same information also missing from your Yahoo! account when you access it from a computer?
Did you try to re-add your Yahoo! email account? If so, can you tell me what happened when you tried?
I look forward to your response.
-FS

Adium and Yahoo instant messenger contact lists not working with Leopard

After I installed Leopard, I tried to run Adium. When I tried to click on the icon and pop up my contact list to select a contact, nothing happens. I am now only able to receive messages and reply to received messages. I cannot get my contact list to pop up when clicking the icon in the dock (like I did with Tiger).
I had the same issue when using the latest Yahoo! messenger for Mac. Anyone else seeing this, or know of a fix?

Hello tross415 and welcome to the Palm forums.
What you are seeing is, if I recall correctly, a bug from Palm webOS 1.3.1 that has not yet been addressed. If you launch Messaging on the Pre, and then select Preferences & Accounts > Add IM Acoun you will not get a button to add a Yahoo! IM account.
The work around for this issue, and to add Yahoo IM support to your Pre is to add a Yahoo email or calendar account. When you do, the IM account will also be created. That is the process that worked for me when Palm introduced Yahoo IM support with webOS 1.3.1.
Hope that helps,

How do I rename an email address contact list and delete an old one?

I want the names of my Contact Lists to reveal which one it is instead of the generic Personal or Contact List. I want to combine two of them into one but can't figure out how to delete the old one. It's probably really simple but evidently the solor flare-ups have rendered me incapable of figuring out things like this! Thanks!

hi DrBeverly, was this meant to go into the thunderbird section of the support forum?

IOS 8.2 - Initiating new email from contact list doesn't allow send

To whom it may concern,
I have noticed a strange issue with iOS 8.2 on iPhone and iPad where if you initiate a new email from your contact list, it will not allow you to press Send because it is grayed out. This option works fine in 8.1.3 and all other options to initiate and send mail appear to work fine in 8.2. I realize this isn't a showstopper, but hopefully this will get addressed in a future OS release. In any event, support case 765105326 has been logged detailing the issue.
Thank you

I had exactly the same issue, I solved it by restoring my phone to a previous backup where I still have my contacts (I recommend you do another backup before) make sure you deactivate the synchronization of your contacts with your ICloud account so you don´t allow ICloud to erase your contacts again ( do this before restoring) , Once you get your contacts back download a contact backup app, ( i bought the MCBackupPro which you can also use for free if you have less than 500 contacts). Keep them in a safe place and just be careful not to active the iCloud sync tab for your contacts on your phone SETTINGS> ICLOUD>CONTACTS TAB MUST BE OFF. Go to iCloud.com and upload your contacts file (.VCF) on the cloud so you have them backed up just in case, I recommend you do this once a month or after you add many contacts.

Why won't Yahoo email recognize contacts using firefox 11?

I have Windows 7 and my contacts are recognized in my yahoo email using Internet Explorer but the contacts are not being recognized in firefox 11. Any suggestions? I would rather use firefox if I can get the contacts to work with my email.

Hi there. Have you tried to contact Yahoo e-mail support? It seems that's more likely a problem with the way the website is serving content to Firefox since what you're describing is a website functionality.
Unfortunately I don't use Yahoo e-mail myself, but someone else might be able to provide more specific help. So, my recommendation would still be to contact Yahoo about this, and provide a screenshot of what you're seeing (and expecting to see).
Good luck!

Importing MDaemon email into OSX Leopard Server

I currently use MDaemon email server software on a Win2K server computer to manage my company email. Can Email Services on OSX Leopard import all my old emails from MDaemon? I really want to make the change and dump Win2K forever....but I can't throw away 8 years of carefully organized emails and their subfolders. Is this a problem? Thanks in advance.

Just looking to move about 4 years worth of archived emails for about 12 email accounts. I'm hoping I can merge all our old emails into Leopard Email Service. They are ".msg" files.

AFAIR, the use program is not the issue the format it is. I once used MH files from sylpheed via Evolution. A complex symlinksystem made it possible.
kmail user maildir as default. So just look for maildir to mbox converters usually available as command line tools. AFAIR the was aproject on sourceforge. But also look if kmail just includes an exporter for mbox. Just make sure you backup things before.
