How to Forward Yahoo! Mail to Another Email Address

By Heinz Tschabitscher, About.com

Sure, that Yahoo! Mail address is nice, and POP access is great, but can't I just receive my Yahoo! Mail at another email address?

Of course you can, says Yahoo!, if you sign up for Yahoo! Mail Plus.

Forward Yahoo! Mail to Another Email Address

After you have signed up:

  • Select Options | Mail Options (or Mail Options) from the Yahoo! Mail navigation bar.
  • Follow the link called POP Access & Forwarding.
  • Make sure Forwarding is selected.
  • Enter the email address where you want to receive all your Yahoo! Mail messages.
  • Eventually click Submit to put your new settings into effect.

Accessing Yahoo! Mail in Your Email Program

Maybe you want to go a more direct route and add Yahoo! Mail as a separate account to your email program? That's no problem either.

You can either access a Yahoo! Mail Plus account directly using POP or employ a (free) tool like YPOPs! to do the same with a free Yahoo! Mail account.
