Transferring data from Yahoo to Gmail

Hello friends, today's tutorial we will talk about moving emails, contacts, calendar events, Yahoo Mail account to your Google account.

What happens with Yahoo?

If Yahoo has lately given a fuck about with Yahoo Messenger, it is time to give the post and Yahoo Mail. Sure, they are not to blame but the evil hackers who compromise thousands of accounts, right?
Given that Yahoo Mail and all its services are about to give spirit, and that receive a lot of spam (junk mail), I decided to take my catrafusele from Yahoo account and to move to Google.

What's your take on Yahoo?

I will take only the most valuable content for me, emails, contacts and calendar events.
Yahoo contacts move them to your Google contacts, emails in Gmail and Yahoo move them they'll move calendar events in Google Calendar.

How we take data from Yahoo?

The process is very simple, we do not need additional software or additional web services. We'll use the "Accounts and Imported" feature in your Gmail account settings. This will open a small wizard for us in which we can choose to import Yahoo contacts and Yahoo emails. We can choose only one option or all. If you have a very old Yahoo account that has accumulated a lot of emails, I recommend that you wait a few days after going through the steps to import into Gmail until you are notified at the top of your Gmail account that the import is complete.

Maybe it's best to delete and account.

After making sure that your contacts, emails and events Yahoo, have been successfully migrated into your Google account, you can access this address https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user to permanently delete your Yahoo account.
That said, I invite you to watch the tutorial to see exactly how Yahoo move emails, contacts and calendar Yahoo Yahoo, Google account.
In the end you do a little revealing, some rumors say that Yahoo is selling but this is just a rumor, so do not quote me on that!

Those who give themselves to others will lose themselves but usefully, leaving something useful to others. Enjoying this privilege, I will never say "I don't know", but "I don't know yet"!

  • Hello, if I use yahoo address for login on different sites as those sites do for logging on to the address gmail.Va thanks

  • OK, I have a Yahoo account just to use the address for different things that seem strange. But where this news as a dying ?! Source, something we can see?

  • Thanks for the tutorial. What to do if we have systematized emails in different folders created? Can they be exported? (I can't find any options for them)

  • Upon deleting your account you will receive the following notification from Yahoo: "Your account has been deactivated and will be deleted from the Yahoo network in approximately 91 day (s). This delay is necessary to discourage users from engaging in fraudulent activity."

    • And so? It was talked about in the tutorial! No longer run the tutorials and tail head them not to fight on the plains stupid comments

  • Adrian I also have a problem, for example I have an account on a torrent tracker and I have that account on yahoo and if I import the data on gmail and then delete the yahoo account, I still receive notifications on gmail if I want to change my password or if I still want to change something.

  • my e-mail address was broken and I can't recover it, who can help me? the address is oarcasdorina @ yahoo, com, tel.0746645446

    • The account was successfully recovered: P I recommend you to change the recovery number if you have another number, be careful the number is always put without 0 in front of both the addition and the recovery.

  • 1. if you delete your account, and do not get on yahoo messages will be imported after the 30 days?
    2. If you delete yahoo account, to understand that after the 30 days will no longer be able to receive anything from gmail yahoo account?
    thank you!

  • The "Import new messages for the next 30 days" option is offered as a grace period.
    A sufficiently large that you announce that you close all moved on Gmail and that is to close your Yahoo account.
    Useful if, when you decide to move, has not yet come much expected that email (Yahoo account) but you know they are going to get it.
