Outlook.com allows to import messages from Yahoo Mail

Microsoft announced that its courier Outlook.com now allows you to import and manage emails from Yahoo Mail, a few months after activating this option to Gmail.

This new feature not only allows Outlook.com users import their Yahoo Mail messages, but also their emails from any email service supporting the Protocol Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).

 
Users who migrated to Outlook.com or using the service as a primary email account, will also respond to messages on Yahoo Mail using their Yahoo Mail  address in the "sender".

Microsoft had added a similar tool for Gmail in December 2013. Note that this change does not affect the use of messengers of origin, which continue to be operating separately. The goal for Microsoft is to bring together in one place the management of different messaging.

The tool import messages from Yahoo Mail is available from the "Options" menu: click on "Import mail accounts", then choose "Yahoo Mail" (requires the name of the account and password), or "Other email provider" if it is another service with IMAP enabled.
