Tips and considerations:
- When forwarding Yahoo Mail, you may experience a delay in receiving emails, as they need to be processed and forwarded to the new account.
- If you're using Yahoo Mail's built-in forwarding feature, you may not be able to forward emails that are already in your inbox. You'll need to forward them manually or use IMAP/POP3 to set up a more comprehensive forwarding solution.
- Be cautious when forwarding sensitive information, as it may be compromised during the forwarding process.
- If you're experiencing issues with forwarding, try checking your Yahoo Mail account's spam filter settings or contact Yahoo Mail support for assistance.
