How to Forward an Email with Yahoo! Mail

By , About.com Guide

You got the message; you will deal with it immediately; and you are not the best person to do what's required.

Fortunately, it's easy to forward an email — to direct a request to the right people, to share an interesting tidbit, or to copy messages to a different email account, for example — in Yahoo! Mail.

Forward an Email with Yahoo! Mail

To forward an email message in Yahoo! Mail:

  • Open the message you want to foward.
  • Click Forward.
    • You can also press f instead.
  • Address the forward and add a comment why what you forward will be of use and interest to the recipient to the top of the message.
    • To forward only the words of a message containing rich text and images, click Plain Text in the message header area, then click OK.
    • In Yahoo! Mail Classic, you can also forward the message as an attachment.
  • Click Send.
