Fetching yahoo emails via gmail

A clever idea!

To fetch Yahoo emails via Gmail, you'll need to use a third-party service or script that can forward emails from Yahoo to Gmail. Here are a few options:

Option 1: Using a third-party email forwarding service

Sign up for a third-party email forwarding service like Sanebox, SaneBlackHole, or Forward Email.
Set up your Yahoo email account with the forwarding service.
Configure the service to forward emails from your Yahoo account to your Gmail account.

Option 2: Using a script or automation tool

Use a scripting language like Python or Node.js to create a script that fetches emails from Yahoo using the Yahoo Mail API.
Set up a cron job or schedule the script to run periodically to fetch new emails from Yahoo.
Use the Gmail API to forward the fetched emails from Yahoo to your Gmail account.

Here's an example Python script using the yagmail library to fetch Yahoo emails and forward them to Gmail:

import yagmail
import imaplib
import email

# Set up Yahoo Mail API credentials
yahoo_username = '[email protected]'
yahoo_password = 'your_yahoo_password'

# Set up Gmail API credentials
gmail_username = '[email protected]'
gmail_password = 'your_gmail_password'

# Connect to Yahoo Mail IMAP server
yahoo_imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.mail.yahoo.com')
yahoo_imap.login(yahoo_username, yahoo_password)
yahoo_imap.select('inbox')

# Fetch emails from Yahoo
emails = []
for email_id in yahoo_imap.search(None, 'ALL'):
    email_id = email_id[0].decode('utf-8').strip()
    email_data = yahoo_imap.fetch(email_id, '(RFC822)')
    email_message = email.message_from_bytes(email_data[0][1])
    emails.append(email_message)

# Forward emails to Gmail
yag = yagmail.SMTP(gmail_username, gmail_password)
for email_message in emails:
    subject = email_message['Subject']
    body = email_message.get_payload()
    yag.send(to=gmail_username, subject=subject, contents=body)

# Log out from Yahoo Mail
yahoo_imap.logout()

Note: Before using any of these options, make sure you have the necessary permissions and credentials to access your Yahoo and Gmail accounts. Additionally, be aware of any potential security risks and limitations when forwarding emails between accounts.
