Import Yahoo or other IMAP Mail to Outlook

Outlook.com
For almost two years, I've read complaints by users of Yahoo email about a host of complaints, including difficulties with password resets, problems logging in, loss of features, spam filters not working, and more.

Tired of the problems with Yahoo email?  The Outlook Team has a simple solution.  Finally, Yahoo and many other IMAP-enabled email can be imported to your Outlook.com account. 

The steps are really simple.  Just go to your Outlook.com Inbox and click the "gear" icon in the upper right, selecting Options.  Next, click "Import email accounts" and select the option for Yahoo.

When the window below opens, merely choose from where you want to import your account.  Expand the Option link to select how you want to import your email.

While the import is being completed, you can learn more about forwarding Yahoo mail from the linked Yahoo KB Article, Automatically forward emails with Yahoo Mail.

When the process is complete, you will receive an email in your Outlook.com Inbox.
