Tips & Warnings

Syncing won't delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a Messenger ID, even if you've deleted the contact from your address book on iPhone or your computer. To delete a contact containing a Messenger ID, log in to your Yahoo! account online and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book. On a Mac, when you sync Address Book contacts with iPhone, any other address books you've set to sync with .Mac, such as your contacts in Microsoft Entourage, will also be synced with iPhone.
