Tips and considerations
- Make sure you have a valid Yahoo Mail account and a Gmail account to set up the forwarder.
- The forwarder will forward all emails from your Yahoo Mail account to your Gmail account. If you want to forward only specific emails, you can modify the filter in Step 1 to include specific keywords or sender addresses.
- If you have a large number of emails in your Yahoo Mail account, it may take some time for all of them to be forwarded to your Gmail account.
- Keep in mind that forwarding emails may not be instantaneous, as it depends on the email servers' processing times.
- If you want to stop forwarding emails from your Yahoo Mail account, you can simply delete the filter in Step 1.
By following these steps, you should be able to auto-forward your Yahoo Mail to Gmail.
