Yahoo is one of the favorite email clients of Internet users for several well-known reasons. From the features to the interface, Yahoo definitely offers something exceptional. One of these features is ‘auto forwarding’ offered by yahoo mail, where it forwards your email to the address you want.
For example, you have a large number of email addresses and don’t have time to go through each one. Due to this, you may miss some important emails that were on top priority. Therefore, to avoid losing important email messages, Yahoo allows you to forward your messages to any other email client, preferably the one you log in to every day.
It is not a joke! You can use Yahoo’s mail forwarding feature and make your email more organized. Let’s start the procedure.
Forward Yahoo Mail to another email address
If you want to forward Yahoo mail (for the latest version of Yahoo) to any other email address, here are the steps to follow:
Let’s start with the following steps:
- Log in to your Yahoo account, click on the ‘Mail’ option on the top right corner.
- In the top right corner, click on the ‘Account Information’ option and a drop-down menu will appear; click ‘Settings’ and then click ‘Go’ next to it.
- On the right hand side you will see a section where you can edit your account information, scroll down and in the ‘Forward’ text field enter the email you want to forward the email to.
- Scroll up and click on the ‘Save’ option located in the left column at the top.
So you can easily forward your Yahoo email to any other email address.
Forwarding Yahoo email to any other email client using the above process is easy. But that’s for the basic version of Yahoo. If you want to try the latest version of Yahoo, the steps are slightly different. For example, you have a Gmail account and want to forward all your Yahoo emails using the basic version. Let me introduce this briefly to make it easier for you.
How to forward Yahoo mail to Gmail?
To forward Yahoo email to Gmail, make sure the Gmail address is not the one set as the recovery email address for Yahoo. See the steps:
- Sign in to your Yahoo account in a web browser and click the ‘Mail’ icon in the top right corner to open your Yahoo Inbox.
- Click on the ‘switch to the latest Yahoo Mail’ option located on the top right corner.
- Click the “Settings” icon on the right, then click the “More Settings” option located at the bottom
- Click on the ‘Mailboxes’ option in the left column.
- Then click on your Yahoo email address to edit your settings.
- Scroll down the right column and you will find an option for ‘Forward’ where you just need to enter your Gmail address to forward your Yahoo mail account to your Gmail account; click ‘Save’ to confirm the changes.
This will automatically forward all your Yahoo mail to your Gmail account. You do not need to sign in to Yahoo Mail to access your email.
You can forward emails from your Gmail account in the same way.
How to fix Yahoo mail forwarding not working?
Facing error while forwarding Yahoo email to another email account? Yes, this can also happen.
