how to get away from yahoo I hate yahoo
I totally despise yahoo email! I did want to migrate but it was mandatory and I had not choice. I get so many ads but to get rid of them yahoo wants you to spend money for a plan to be add free? Ridiculous, The emails are hard to read and find. too much spam.
Any suggestions on how to get away from yahoo email? I have so many people who have my email and afraid to change I would lose do many contacts. I have had comcast email for over 30 years and never had any problems until they forced this yahoo stuff on us. I heard once you are using yahoo you can not go back? There has to be something we can do to have a more user friendly email account without all this adds and junk emails.

It's not something you need worry about right now if you don't want to. For the time being, the transition to Yahoo is still voluntary on your part. At some point down the road Comcast will be ending their email service. But there is no published date for that yet. So it's not an emergency on your part. You are not even eligible for the move until you get the invitation email from Comcast, and even then you can opt not to make the change yet.

Yahoo mail is horrible. I don't like the format to start with. Comcast was much easier to use and navigate. Now my issue is that my entire address book did not transfer to Yahoo. I need those contacts to transfer and I would expect Yahoo to take care of it for me. How does this happen??? It's not my responsibility to get them to transfer to a platform that I never wanted or asked for in the first place!

You could export a copy of your Comcast contacts to your computer, then import them into Yahoo. First in the Comcast account, open the Inbox page and click on "Address Book" at the top of the page.
On the landing page in the left pane, click on the hamburger icon to the right of "Address book" and you will see the option to Export.
Once you have done that, go to the Yahoo account Inbox page, look to the right and you should see "Contacts" Click on that, then on "All", and to the right of that click on the 3 dot ellipse. In the drop-down menu you will see the option to Import your contacts.
I am assuming you are on a desktop or laptop computer. Instructions for an iPhone or an Android device will be a bit different.
