Yahoo! Messenger makes it easy to get connected with people who matter most. Including your friends who use Windows Live™ Messenger. In fact, the more the merrier! You can have up to 1,000 friends on your contact list (got that many friends?).
You can now import your contacts from Microsoft Outlook into Yahoo! Messenger. We'll help you add them to your Yahoo! Address Book, and determine which contacts already use Yahoo! Messenger.
1. For contacts who already use Yahoo! Messenger: You can directly add these contacts to your Messenger List.
2. For contacts who do not use Yahoo! Messenger: You can email them invitations to get Yahoo! Messenger. You will be notified when a friend accepts an email invitation.
Now that you can share IMs with Windows Live Messenger users, it's time to add them all to your contact list. It's easy to do. Just click the Add a Contact button, type in their info and be sure to select Windows Live in the Network menu.
