Computer Tips – Import Facebook Contact Emails Into Yahoo Mail And Gmail

Import Facebook Contact Emails Into Yahoo Mail And Gmail

Not many people know that you canimport Facebook contact emails and save them to your computer. In fact people don’t even realize that when you sign up a Facebook, your e-mail is available to anyone that you become a friend to. I know myself, that I was not aware, that anonymous people that you have befriended can obtain your e-mail address. I presumed, just like anyone else would, that their only means of contact was through Facebook itself. This is not true. Hopefully this tutorial will make you think twice before pressing the ad as a friend button in Facebook. Below I will show you how easy it is to import Facebook contact emails to your computer.

This is a great thing if you have lost or your “real friends” contact emails as you can get a copy of them from Facebook. On the other hand, if you are just becoming peoples friends in order to sell something to them, then I do not agree that you should be importing their e-mail addresses.

The reason I went to all this trouble to import Facebook contact e-mails into Yahoo and then in to Gmail, is because I could not simply import them into Gmail first. Yahoo mail is the only one that allowed me to do this, however as you can see there is always a way around everything. From Yahoo mail I can also import Facebook contact e-mails into Outlook express and Thunderbird e-mail.

Notes on how to import Facebook contact emails into Yahoo mail:

• Now that you can see how easy it is to import Facebook contact e-mails you might think twice about pressing the add as a friend button.
• Maybe when you do add someone as a friend, there should be a warning saying that your e-mail will be available to them.
