Gmail – How to forward email from an old account to the new Gmail account

email-forwardinggmailyahoo-mail

I have an old Yahoo Mail account on which I still get a few emails, now and then – but I now primarily use Gmail.

Is there a way for me automatically to forward or fetch emails from that account so that they show up in Gmail?

Both of the previous answers relate to a feature that is only available through the Yahoo Mail Plus plan, which now costs money.

If you're willing to pay for Yahoo Mail Plus, which would run you $20 for one year, setting up POP or forwarding, as described in the previous answers, is the way to go.

However, I don't recommend it, as you would be paying for an account you don't really use (and for features that are free in Gmail).

Instead, you can use the Import mail and contacts feature from Gmail. To set it up, go to Settings --> Accounts and Import --> Import mail and contacts.
