How to sync gmail and yahoo mail

There are a few ways to sync Gmail and Yahoo Mail, depending on your specific needs and preferences. Here are a few options:

Method 1: Use IMAP

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows you to access your Yahoo Mail account from within Gmail. Here's how:

1. Enable IMAP in your Yahoo Mail account:
   • Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
   • Click on the gear icon in the top right corner.
   • Select "More settings" from the dropdown menu.
   • Click on the "Accounts" tab.
   • Scroll down to the "IMAP" section and toggle the switch to "On".
2. Set up IMAP in your Gmail account:
   • Log in to your Gmail account.
   • Click on the gear icon in the top right corner.
   • Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
   • Click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
   • Scroll down to the "IMAP Access" section and toggle the switch to "Enable IMAP".
   • Enter your Yahoo Mail account's IMAP settings:
     • Server: imap.yahoo.com
     • Port: 993
     • Username: your Yahoo Mail address
     • Password: your Yahoo Mail password
3. Sync your Yahoo Mail account with Gmail:
   • Go back to the "Accounts" tab in your Gmail settings.
   • Click on the "Add a POP or IMAP account" button.
   • Enter your Yahoo Mail account's IMAP settings (same as above).
   • Click "Add account" to complete the setup.

Method 2: Use a third-party email client

You can also use a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to sync your Gmail and Yahoo Mail accounts. These clients often have built-in support for multiple email accounts and can help you manage your emails across multiple providers.

Method 3: Use a cloud-based email service

Services like Microsoft Outlook.com or Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) allow you to connect multiple email accounts, including Gmail and Yahoo Mail, and sync them across devices.

Method 4: Use a browser extension

There are also browser extensions available that can help you sync your Gmail and Yahoo Mail accounts. For example, the "Mail Merge" extension for Chrome allows you to merge your Gmail and Yahoo Mail accounts into a single inbox.

Important notes

• When using IMAP, your Yahoo Mail account will be accessed from within Gmail, but your emails will still be stored on Yahoo's servers. This means that if you delete an email from your Yahoo Mail account, it will also be deleted from your Gmail account.
• If you use a third-party email client or cloud-based email service, you may need to set up separate accounts for each email provider.
• Some features, such as labels or filters, may not be synced between your Gmail and Yahoo Mail accounts.
