In this article, we will guide you through the steps required to forward Yahoo Mail messages to Gmail.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Yahoo Mail Account
To begin, sign in to your Yahoo Mail account by visiting https://mail.yahoo.com and entering your login credentials. Once you have logged in, proceed with the following steps.
Step 2: Access Your Yahoo Mail Settings
Upon logging in, locate the “Settings” gear icon at the top-right corner of your screen and click on it. From the drop-down menu that appears, select “More Settings” to open the advanced settings tab.
Step 3: Set up Email Forwarding
In the left-hand menu under “More Settings,” click on “Mailboxes.” Select the primary mailbox from which you would like to forward emails.
Scroll down until you find the “Forwarding” section. Here, input your Gmail address (or any other email address where you want your Yahoo emails forwarded). Click on the “Verify” button to authorize forwarding and receive an email with a verification link in your Gmail inbox.
Step 4: Verify Email Forwarding
Open your Gmail account and locate the email from Yahoo titled “Please verify your email address.” Open this email and click on the verification link provided. After clicking the link, you’ll be redirected back to the Yahoo Mail settings page.
Step 5: Choose Email Forwarding Options
The final step is selecting which emails get forwarded from Yahoo Mail to Gmail. In the forwarding section of Yahoo Mail settings, choose from either:
1. Store and forward – This option allows your Yahoo emails to remain in your Yahoo inbox while being forwarded to Gmail.
2. Forward only – With this setting, emails will only be sent to your Gmail account, removing them from your Yahoo Mail inbox.
3. Store and forward and mark as read – This choice forwards your emails to Gmail while marking them as read in the Yahoo Mail inbox.
Select the option that best suits your needs, then click “Save.”
