    Go to https://mail.yahoo.com/ in your computer's web browser. This will open your Yahoo email inbox if you're logged into your Yahoo account.
    • If you aren't logged into your Yahoo account, enter your email address and password before proceeding.

    Unfortunately, the newest version of Yahoo's interface doesn't have an email forwarding option in Settings. You can switch back to the old version, which will allow you to forward emails, by doing the following: [1]
    • Click Settings in the upper-right corner of the page (if you see a purple gear here instead, you're already using the old version of Yahoo).
    • Click Switch to classic Mail in the bottom-left corner of the menu.
    • Click Switch back to classic Mail at the bottom of the window.
    • Wait for the page to reload.

    If you no longer wish to forward Yahoo! Mail emails to Gmail, go to your Yahoo! Mail account. Click open the Settings menu icon. From Settings, click Accounts, then Yahoo email account. Choose POP and save this. By selecting POP here, the forwarding will be stopped.

    If you mean how to forward Yahoo! Mail emails to Gmail, the above article will explain the process in detail. Otherwise, you could consider making an email signature line that lets people know you have a Gmail address as well as the Yahoo! Mail one.
