How to Export Yahoo Emails and Contacts to CSV with Date, Subject and Addresses ?
You can export Yahoo emails to CSV format using the Turgs Yahoo Mail to CSV Converter. It connects to your Yahoo account, lets you select specific folders, and exports emails with date, subject, sender, and recipient fields into a clean CSV file. The free trial moves the first 25 emails per folder.
Exporting Yahoo emails to CSV is a common task for businesses that need to analyze email data, build contact lists, or migrate communication records into a spreadsheet or CRM. A CSV file opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or any database tool. It gives you rows of email data including sender, recipient, date, subject, and message body in a format you can filter and sort.
Yahoo Mail doesn’t offer a native “Export to CSV” button. You need a tool that connects to your Yahoo account via IMAP, reads your mailbox, and writes the output in structured CSV format. The Email Backup Wizard by Turgs does exactly that. I’ve used it to pull contact lists and email records from Yahoo accounts for client reporting, and the CSV output is clean and importable anywhere.
Why Export Yahoo Emails to CSV
CSV is the most universally compatible format for email data. If your goal is to extract email addresses from Yahoo contacts, analyze message volume over time, or import communication history into a CRM, CSV is the format every tool accepts without conversion.
A few real scenarios where Yahoo to CSV export is useful: a sales team exporting their Yahoo inbox to build a contact follow-up list in Excel; an admin extracting 3 years of customer emails to a spreadsheet for a support audit; or a freelancer archiving client communications before switching to a new email provider. In every case, CSV is the right output format for structured data.

Complete Step-by-Step Process
Download and install the Turgs Yahoo Mail to CSV tool on your Windows system. Installation takes under a minute.
Launch the tool. The startup screen shows you the list of supported email sources. Select Yahoo Mail from the list.
Enter your Yahoo Mail credentials. The tool supports both standard login and advanced options including exporting from multiple Yahoo accounts in one session or connecting through a proxy server. Click Login to connect.
The tool loads your Yahoo folder list. Check the folders you want to export. You can select Inbox, Sent, specific label folders, or all folders at once.
In the Saving Option section, choose CSV. Set your destination folder where the output file will be saved. The tool preserves the hierarchy of your folders and email properties in the CSV output.
Click Backup. The tool starts the export process. Depending on your inbox size, it may take a few minutes. A progress indicator shows the export status in real time.
When finished, navigate to your destination folder and open the CSV file in Excel or Google Sheets. Each row is one email, with columns for date, subject, sender, recipient, and message content.
Key Features of the Yahoo to CSV Converter
Here’s what this tool does beyond a basic export:
Export with full metadata: The CSV output includes the email date, subject line, sender address, recipient address, and message body. This makes the output useful for contact extraction and data analysis, not just archiving.
Multiple account support: You can export emails from more than one Yahoo account in a single session. Load each account sequentially and all output goes to your chosen destination.
Selective folder export: You don’t have to export your entire Yahoo mailbox. Pick specific folders, such as a single project label or your Sent folder from the last quarter, and export only those.
Date range filters: The tool includes date range filtering so you can export emails from a specific period. For audits or compliance exports covering a defined time window, this keeps your CSV focused and clean.
Cross-platform Windows support: The tool runs on Windows XP through Windows 11. No special system requirements are needed beyond a working internet connection to reach your Yahoo Mail account.
Free trial available: The demo version moves up to 25 emails per folder to CSV. That’s enough to verify the output format and confirm the tool works for your account before you buy a license.
Limitations to Know
Limitations
- The free demo version exports only 25 emails per folder. The full license removes this restriction.
- The tool runs on Windows only. There’s no Mac or Linux version of this specific CSV converter.
- Yahoo accounts with two-factor authentication enabled require an app-specific password generated from your Yahoo account security settings.
- Very large mailboxes with thousands of emails may take significant time to export. Plan for this when exporting several years of email history.
- The CSV output includes the email body as plain text. Rich HTML formatting and inline images are not preserved in CSV format.
- Attachments are not exported to CSV. You need a separate process if you also need to save email attachments locally.
