Need help in importing contacts from Yahoo Messenger to MSN Messenger by nascent26 on 11-09-2006 at 05:04 PM

Hi! I've just installed MSN messenger in my PC and I want to import all my Yahoo Messenger contacts to MSN Messenger. How do I do this? Or will I have to enter each of the hundred fifty or so contacts I have? It seems so time-consuming to say the least...

Can anyone suggest a way? I'd really appreciate all the help you can give me... :D

Erm there i one way out. Make a text file with .ctt as extension.

code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<messenger>
  <service name=".NET Messenger Service">
    <contactlist>
      <contact type="32">yahooid@yahoo.com</contact>
      <contact type="1">windowsliveid@domain.com</contact>
    </contactlist>
  </service>
</messenger>
Make Such a file with all your contacts and then in Messenger go to Contacts > Import Instant Messaging Contacts... and browse to the ctt file you made and your done [Image: xso_cheesy.gif].
