that, depending upon what sowfrate you used (Outlook, etc.) to read your e-mail, it probably saved e-mail addresses of your contacts (i.e. your address book) on your computer's hard drive. None of the addresses you have saved will be on your ISP's web browser e-mail.For future reference, you probably could have exported them in some format (I would recommend vCard) and turned around an imported them into you ISP's web interface (or saved them off on a thumb drive, etc.).I would recommend going to and signing up for an e-mail address there. That way, it is not tied to your ISP, or any particular computer, etc. Google also offers gmail (same thing). These are read your e-mail through a web browser type interfaces. Your Yahoo!Mail address book is saved on Yahoo's computers, which they keep backups of, so you should not loose anything there.PS: With Yahoo!Mail, you can set it up to read your ISP's e-mail and save it in your Yahoo!Mail's in-box. You just need to know the address of the POP server (Post Office Protocol), usually pop.ispname.com. So, you can use Yahoo!Mail and still continue to get e-mails sent to your ISP's address.
