How to Forward Yahoo Mail to Gmail

If for any reason you have to forward your Yahoo e-mail  to gmail, you have to  make a slight change to your Yahoo mail settings. It may seem complicated. but it's actually very easy to do!  This  step-by-step  guide will "walk"  you through the process. Requires Yahoo! Plus  (paid version of Yahoo!).

Steps

1. Open Yahoo mail
2. 


Click on the Settings icon to get a pull-down menu.

• Click on 'Settings' (see image).

3. Click Edit beside "Yahoo Account." 

4. Do the following once you are in the box:

• Tick the box "forward... mail to another e-mail address".
• Enter the  gmail e-mail you want to forward to.  (example shown on image)
• Make sure to have "forward only" words in the bottom window (see image).

5. Save your settings.



6. You will be asked to verify your gmail  address .  To do so, open your gmail mail  and click on the link  provided by Yahoo.



7. From  this time one every email sent  to your Yahoo account will be automatically  forwarded to gmail.

Tips

• It's important  that you  verify your Gmail  address (in step 6) otherwise it will not work -  your  mail  will not  forward.
• To undo the  forwarding  procedure (in case  you changed your mind)   just untick a box "forward  ... mail to another e-mail address"  in step 4.
• This method doesn't work with the free version of Yahoo Mail, only with the Yahoo Plus version.
