How can i forward old mail gmail to yahoo
To forward old mail from Gmail to Yahoo, you'll need to set up a filter in Gmail to forward the emails to your Yahoo account. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Enable IMAP in Gmail
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
- Go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
- Enable IMAP by selecting the radio button next to "Enable IMAP."
- Click "Save Changes."
Step 2: Set up a filter in Gmail
- Go back to the Gmail settings page and click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on "Create a new filter."
- In the "From" field, enter the email address you want to forward (e.g., your old email address).
- Click "Create filter."
- In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "Forward to" and enter your Yahoo email address.
- Make sure the "Also apply filter to [X] matching conversations" checkbox is selected.
- Click "Create."
Step 3: Verify the filter
- Go back to the Gmail settings page and click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Look for the filter you just created and click on the three vertical dots next to it.
- Select "Edit" and verify that the filter is set up correctly.
Step 4: Forward old emails
- Go to the Gmail search bar and enter the following search query:
in:inbox is:unread
(this will search for all unread emails in your inbox). - Click on the "Search" button.
- Select all the emails you want to forward by checking the boxes next to them.
- Click on the "More" menu and select "Filter emails like these."
- Select the filter you created in Step 2.
- Click "Apply."
Note: This process will forward all unread emails in your inbox. If you want to forward all emails, including read ones, you can use the search query in:inbox
instead.
Step 5: Verify the forwarded emails
- Log in to your Yahoo account.
- Check your inbox to verify that the emails have been forwarded successfully.
That's it! Your old Gmail emails should now be forwarded to your Yahoo account.
