Yahoo is one of the favorite email clients of internet users, for several known reasons. From features to the interface, Yahoo definitely offers something extraordinary. One such feature is ‘auto-forward’ offered by yahoo mail where it forwards its emails to the address you want.
For instance, you have a good number of email addresses and don’t get time to check each one of them. This may make you skip some important emails that were of utmost priority. So in order to avoid missing upon important emails, Yahoo lets you forward its emails to any other email client, possibly one that you log into every day.
No Kidding! You can use the Yahoo mail forwarding feature and make your emails more organized. Let’s get into the procedure.
Forwarding Yahoo Mail to Another Email Address
If you want to forward Yahoo mail (For Latest Yahoo Version) to any other email address, here are the steps that you need to follow:
Let’s begin with the steps:
- Log into your Yahoo account, click on the ‘Mail’ option in the top-right corner.
- In the top-right corner, click on the ‘Account Info’ option and a drop-down menu will appear; click on ‘Settings’ and then click on ‘Go’ given next to it.
- On the right, you will see a section where you can edit your account details, scroll down and in the ‘Forwarding’ text field, enter the emails to which you want to forward the emails.
