We've discovered that when you export contacts from Yahoo and choose the Yahoo.csv file format, it will create your file with many fields.  Go ahead and leave them, even though you only want the First Name, Last Name and Email. 

When you import your file into your Participant Address Book, choose the Yahoo.csv option.  It should import the file for you. 

However, if you remove the extra fields,  you'll get an error that the file is likely formatted incorrectly.

Participants - Importing Contacts into Address Book

There is also a widget on-line that allows you to use Plaxo to import contacts from Yahoo, Hotmail, or several other ISPs and Outlook. It's a pretty handy tool to use, and I haven't experienced any difficulties with it, other than having to reformat a name when there wasn't one listed.
