How to redirect yahoo mail to gmail

Redirecting Yahoo Mail to Gmail involves setting up a forwarding rule in your Yahoo Mail account to forward incoming emails to your Gmail account. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Method 1: Forwarding Rule in Yahoo Mail

1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "More settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Click on the "Accounts" tab.
4. Click on the "Forwarding" tab.
5. Click on the "Add a forwarding address" button.
6. Enter your Gmail address in the "Forward to" field.
7. Click on the "Verify" button.
8. Yahoo will send a verification email to your Gmail address. Open the email and click on the verification link to confirm the forwarding address.
9. Go back to your Yahoo Mail account and click on the "Save" button.

Method 2: Using IMAP

1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
2. Enable IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) in your Yahoo Mail settings:
   • Go to the "Settings" (gear icon) > "More settings" > "Accounts" > "IMAP" and toggle the switch to "On".
3. Set up your Gmail account to receive emails from Yahoo Mail using IMAP:
   • Go to your Gmail account settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Enable IMAP.
   • Enter your Yahoo Mail account credentials in the "Incoming mail (IMAP) server" field.
4. Configure your Gmail account to receive emails from Yahoo Mail:
   • Go to your Gmail account settings > Labels > Create a new label (e.g., "Yahoo Mail").
   • Set up a filter to forward emails from Yahoo Mail to your Gmail account:
     • Go to your Gmail account settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses > Create a new filter.
     • Enter "yahoo.com" in the "From" field.
     • Select the label you created in step 4.
     • Click "Create" to save the filter.

Important Notes:

• When you set up forwarding, you'll receive a copy of the email in both your Yahoo Mail and Gmail accounts.
• If you want to keep your Yahoo Mail account active, you may want to set up forwarding only for specific folders or labels.
• Some features, such as Yahoo Mail's built-in spam filtering, may not work when forwarding emails to Gmail.
• If you encounter issues with forwarding, you may need to check your email account settings or contact Yahoo Mail or Gmail support for assistance.

Remember to always keep your email account credentials secure and be cautious when sharing them with third-party services.
