Sync Outlook And Yahoo Calendars

Microsoft Outlook is a personal manager program developed and marketed by Microsoft. It includes an email manager, contacts manager and calendar management software, which allows users to create reminders for meetings and anniversaries. Yahoo is a leading search engine and an email service provider that also allows users to create calendar entries. One of the many advantages of using the Yahoo calendar is that it allows its users portability. That is, the user can view and edit or create new calendar entries on the move from anywhere in the world as the calendar is stored in the Yahoo server and not on your local computer like the Outlook program.
If you are a frequent traveler who cannot take his/her personal computer with yourself on all occasions, then synchronizing your Outlook contacts with the Yahoo calendar is a very good idea to keep track of your appointments. To synchronize the data between the Outlook and Yahoo calendar programs, follow the simple instructions from Outlook tech support centre given below.
Instructions
  • Open your web browser and go to the Yahoo home page.
  • Now sign in to your account and then go to the Yahoo calendar page. 
  • Click on the Options link, then browse, click on the Import and Export heading, and then go to the Export to Outlook section.
  • Under the Export to Outlook section, click on the Export Now button. Now the export process will begin and it will ask you to give a name for the Yahoo calendar. You will also be required to specify a file location. Take note of the name and location of the calendar file saved.
  • Now to import the Yahoo calendar to the Outlook software, open Outlook and then click on the File menu. A dropdown menu will appear now, from this dropdown menu, select on the Import and Export tab. 
  • Now select the option Import from Another Program or File and after that, click on the Next button to proceed. Then select the file type option as Comma Separated Values (Windows) and then click on the Next button.
  • Now a window will ask you to select the file, select the previously saved Yahoo calendar file and the click on the option that reads Do Not Import Duplicate Items to remove duplicate entries and then click on the Next button and select the Calendar option and then click on the Next button to finish the process.
Follow the above simple steps from the Outlook tech support team for synchronizing Yahoo calendar with the Outlook calendar.
