Selective sync process with Yahoo mail contacts in importing them to Windows 8x phone?

"Syncing" (importing) Yahoo mail messages and contacts appears simple. Setting > email etc, select Yahoo and it creates a Yahoo tile and imports individual contacts into People Hub. Except that out some 120 contacts I have in my online Yahoo account only some 50 were brought over. I tried exporting a Microsoft Outlook CSV file to Outlook.com and the same thing happens. A number of such contacts are simple, just a name (letters, numbers, @ sign only) and an email address but they did not make it.
Oh sorry, I bought a new Windows Phone 8x 4G LTE unit that is fantastic....except for this problem.
Anyone has a suggestion how I could bring over the other contacts (so that I do not have to do it manually, one by one, on the phone)?
Thank you.

Found a solution (there may be others): since I read that a problem may be with strange characters/info in my Yahoo Mail contacts, I extrapolated a Microsoft Outlook CSV file from the Yahoo account. Brought the file into a spread sheet and erase all the info except for the individual names and email addresses. Then save the file in the same format. Opened my Outlook.com account, went to People, then 'import from file' and designated this CSV file and it came over without a hitch.
I hope this is of help to others facing this problem. Best,

  • HT1296 When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

    Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
    It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
    I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
    What do I do?
    iPad 2 latest OS.

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.

    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • Sync problem with Yahoo! Address Book

    In iTunes I selected the option to have my iPhone contacts list synced with my Yahoo! Address Book. I have added some contacts directly into my iPhone. When I then subsequently sync'ed my iPhone with iTunes, those contacts disappeared I added through my iPhone disappeared. But if I add the contacts online in my Yahoo! Address book, those contacts sync fine with my iPhone. How do I get my iPhone to sync properly with my Yahoo! Address book?

However no problem with yahoo mail keep come but address book unable to sync or load. I have deleted the account and recreate the same account; mail and calendar are OK, no luck with Address Book. I also tried with CardDav as Yahoo directed. Phone refused to create the Yahoo address book and say the “Service Provider blocking this..?” I cannot understand what the service providers do with my personal yahoo address book? I had the yahoo address book before in the same phone for months. Now no longer
    Any help to re-store this address book and sync with Z10 will highly appreciated
    Thanks

    I ahve the same problem, I had to re-intall the OS on my phone and since then both of my Rogers email account are refusing to let me access the CARDDAV.
    When I try to add the CARDDAV I get the following error : At This Time Your Contacts Account Can`t Be Added. Please Try Again Later
    I have been trying daily for the past two weeks with no success, and the same thing is happening on the PlayBook (I tried to change the password on the accounts to see if it would solve the problem)
    Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

  • "re-importing" Yahoo Mail Contacts

    Been using Yahoo Mail for 2 years on my iPhone 4s with my Yahoo Mail contacts also for my phone contacts.  Yesterday, they "disappeared" from my phone contacts, and I can not get them to re-import.  All settings seem to be right.
      Thanks for any help,
         Mike

    You have to do via iTunes.  With the iPod connected (wifi or USB), go to the Info pane for the iPod and check the boxes for Synce Address Book Contacts and Sync Yahoo Address Book contacts.

  • Where is my yahoo mail contacts & calendar

    can't find my yahoo mail contacts & calendar

    There is no yahoo notepad for iOS.  In your yahoo account settings, you can enable sync'ing of your yahoo notes - they will be sync'd with iOS notes application.
    According to Yahoo, it is also a one way sync - see http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN3688&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ ML

  • No email invitation for a user with Yahoo mail

    I have sent an invitation to myself and someone else and it worked fine. I have another user with Yahoo mail. I sent her an invitation twice and she has never received it. I told her to check her junk mail to see if it was filtered, but she says its not their either.
    1) Is their an issue with Yahoo mail?
    2) Is their a way for me to get the invitation link as a Web Developer and email it to her manually?

    I typically just set up an account for the user. I use either their server's email or a generic gmail account.
    Given the process is quite a pain in the butt...  I sign up both accounts, First the new email then the  Adobe account for the end user... I accept and test the account to verify it works on my end and then I just send them the login info. They much more prefer a simple process like that.
    The whole sign up / username... blahblahblah.. in the end all the Publisher or Editor needs is a login name and password. There is absolutely no need for them to be burdened with the process. There is absolutely ZERO interaction with the email account that you sign up with other than accepting the invite. InContext doesn't notify you when your page has been updated, if you have new assignents from your Publisher... NOTHING.
    I saw no reason to even have the client have to go through the process. Make it simple for them.
    sign up a one time disposable email
    sign up an adobe account name
    Send / accept invite youself
    Then a one line email to client, "To edit your site use this login name and password"
    IMO.. if I am going to have to pay for this service provided to MY customer... I'm not giving anyone (Adobe included) their personal info, email, address, name..

  • Yahoo mail contacts won't load on Firefox 3.6

    I am using FF 3.6 on XP. Yahoo mail contacts won't load so I can't access my contacts list for emails, etc.
    I am able to successfully open Yahoo mail and view my contacts in IE 7. The contacts tab opens and I can access addresses for email etc.
    What's up w/ that?

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Having issues with Yahoo mail on ios4 on a 3GS

    Is anyone else experiencing issues with Yahoo mail on their 3GS after the upgrade to ios4?? Keep getting an imap server error, but gmail works fine.

    Same problem. I have two Yahoo! Mail accounts. One stopped sending mail, while the other was fine. (Both could receive, however.) To solve that, I deleted the problematic account from the phone and reinstalled it. It worked... until I synced by iPhone with iTunes. Now both Yahoo! Mail accounts will not work, and deleting them and reinstalling them does nothing.
    Apple had better fix this. (Or I'll whine louder.)

  • Why can't i make attachments with yahoo mail in the newest Firefox?

    i use yahoo mail. in the old versions of firefox it works perfectly. i use now firefox 3.6.25 if i upgrade to the latest firefox, yahoo mail doesn't work anymore. i can't attach anything. the button 'attach' stays grey and unclickable. it is the reason i don't upgrade. can someone help me? o i work on a macbook pro, with mac os 10.6.8 running.

    Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, except that I did find a thread on the Apple Discussions forum about a similar problem with Safari and Yahoo mail attachments:

    Re: Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball<br>
    Feb 7, 2012 10:15 AM (in response to Anamariela)
    Well, my problem with Yahoo Classic is different--I cannot click on some of the buttons! Very weird. No beach ball, but when I attach files to send an email and click on "Attach Files", nothing. Same with a couple others.
    Going to try to install the new Flash as Mark suggested. Anyone else have this issue?
    I probably should change to Yahoo's newer mail app but I just prefer the Classic version.
    You might want to read the other replies in that Apple discussion and try the suggestions ... or just contact Yahoo help, if no one else replies here.

    I am having trobule with yahoo mail. I contacted ATT and was told the problem was between Yahoo and apple. does anyone has any other information on how to solve the problem?

    Do you see an error when trying to receive mail? If not, then it is probably a Yahoo issue. They are infamous for having problems and servers going down in the iOS Mail program. Check with them.
