This integration is designed to allow easy import of contacts in Facebook Yahoo! Mail. In practice, simply access the address book from Yahoo! Mail (clicking on Contacts). Via Tools / Import …, an icon Facebook has emerged along with Gmail and Windows Live Hotmail. Remains to enter his user name and password for Facebook to proceed. Where appropriate, new contacts are created in the Address Book Yahoo! Mail. Duplicates are automatically avoided.
