How can I transfer all my emails and contacts from my old yahoo mail acc to the new one?

I decided to get rid of my old yahoo email address and make a new one. Because yahoo make it so difficult to have another email address or they don't make it clear on how to do it, I had to make up a complete new account, which seems a bit stupid, but I could not see how I could do it any other way.





So now I want to transfer all the emails in my folders and inbox as well as all my contacts from the old account over to my new yahoo email account.


Can someone please tell me how to do this?


Thanks!
