Coverting from Yahoo Mail to Outlook.com - How to import folders?

Hi SneyNoorani,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Let me help you with your concern regarding importing folders from Yahoo to Outlook.com.

May I ask additional information so we can further investigate your concern?

• Did you register your account as Microsoft account?
• Are you using Windows Live Mail?
• Are you referring to send and receive features of Outlook.com

If you are stating about send and receive, it requires to have a paid account in Yahoo to correctly configure your Yahoo account in Outlook,com

For more information please visit this link.

Hope this helps.

For more Outlook.com concerns, don’t hesitate to post back.

Thanks,

Kay

ok is anyone at Microsoft getting the idea that if they want to wholesale hijack Yahoo's market share, then they should make it super f***ing easy to copy over all the yahoo mail folders, I have like 50 folders, probably more in my yahoo mail. I organise obsessively. So here's the deal, stop giving us useless answers, and do this: ask a boffin/techie/nerd at microsoft to work out an import workflow to get the paid yahoo accounts over to outlook.com indentically.

do this, post a video showing us how to do this, put the video on the front page of outlook so people can find that **** easily and then you will finally be playing this game like it should be played. **** it. hire me to project manage the thing and I'll make it happen, but please stop wasting our time with useless replies that aren't answerign the question

if you really want to help us, make yourself a yahoo account, populate it with emails and folders then get it into outlook seamlessly, record a video of this workflow and post it on youtube/vimeo. that would be awesome. anything less is bollocks. meaning ****. meaning less than that which would satisfy the userbase that you want to grow.

I don't think I can be any clearer.

Ken,

Thanks for the reply. However, this does not answer the question being discussed on the forum. As I've previously stated, I (and other users here) need to migrate the sub-folders from Yahoo, not just the inbox. 

The link you've supplied (and the links from previous two moderators) does not have any details about sub-folders.

Thanks for your attention.

did you ever work this out?  I want to do exactly the same thing, but reading the responses down below, it looks like none of these guys understood or solved your problem.  Basically I want outlook.com to wholesale 'bodysnatch' my yahoo account keeping folder structures in place.  please and thank-you

I am trying to import my mails from yahoo, but this doesn't work
