Can I import Yahoo contacts into Outlook.com?

Importing Yahoo contacts into Outlook.com is technically possible, but the manual process has more steps than most people expect. You'd need to export your Yahoo contacts as a CSV file, clean up the formatting so Outlook.com can read it correctly, then import it through the People section. Simple enough in theory — but field mismatches between Yahoo and Outlook.com often mean contacts come in with missing names, blank phone numbers, or scrambled entries that need fixing one by one afterward.


The CloudMigration Yahoo Backup Tool is worth considering here, especially if you're also planning to migrate Yahoo Mail to Outlook.com alongside your contacts. It handles both in the same workflow — preserving data integrity throughout, supporting bulk export, and giving you selective filter options so you can choose exactly what gets transferred. The tool works across Windows and Mac versions, connects securely to both platforms, and the interface is clean enough that no technical knowledge is needed to get through it.


If you want contacts and emails to land in Outlook.com accurately and without cleanup work afterward, this is a more dependable approach than the manual CSV route — particularly when migrating Yahoo Mail to Outlook.com as a full transition.
