Is there a way to configure Yahoo’s mail settings to forward all the email I get to a different email address that is not Yahoo?
Thanks!
nope. unless you sign up for their premier service (meaning: pay them money for some extra space and features) you cannot forward your yahoo mail or access it from a third party application like Outlook.
which sucks, because that means Yahoo is completely isolated. every other email that i use can be accessed through outlook, but not Yahoo… but that’s the way it is.
Hey there Tiger – this doesn’t help Topramen, but I must disagree about Yahoo mail and third-party access.
I have Outlook Express, and I admit I can’t (or don’t know how to) set that to access my Yahoo mail.
HOWEVER, I also use (and HIGHLY recommend!) PopPeeper, and with that I sure CAN access/read my Yahoo mail.
I just tried reading then FORWARDING some… couldn’t quite see an option, but at LEAST I can REPLY to that mail in my Yahoo FROM PopPeeper – the whole thing without my (directly) going anywhere near Yahoo as such.If PopPeeper can do it, then I reckon surely many other 3rd-parties can… perhaps just not Outlook ?
(I’m sure others here will confirm/deny/add to this info).Unless you do something, that is probably illegal, then the answer is no… I would recommend you switching to Gmail, I have 3 Gmail accounts and they all foward to one! If you need an invite I’ve got plenty.
Although back in the pre-Gmail days… Google told me a thing or two about a thing or two called the first one on the page 😉

Gmail is great, but if you just want an account to store garbage for sites that require you to signup yahoo is better. this is because of many reasons one of them being that yahoo has a fast easy signup (don’t need to ask anyone for invites).
Also if you’re going to talk about illegal activity… multiple Gmail accounts is against gmail Program Policies: “users may not:… Create multiple user accounts…” (http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/program_policies.html)

BUT that’s straying from topramen’s question. i stand corrected on at least the pop access part, but as far as i know forwarding from Yahoo mail to another account is impossible. anyone have any evidence to prove otherwise?
Not to turn this into an argument, once you go through the whole “long signup process” and getting an invite, which most people already have a Gmail Account, then all you do is invite your self… badabing badaching not too complicated.
Straying back onto topic here, I have heard in no way, shape or form of free Yahoo! Mail forwarding. Which I think is stupid and I think Yahoo! should change, most everyother free email provider offers it, one even rivals storage size too, if they are to compete with the big dogs then maybe they should offer something competitive.

obviously when you get one account you can do what you want. after isnoop’s gmail invite spooler got shutdown… there is no way (that i know of) to get a gmail account unless you know someone and are willing to beg for one.ShadowdogMU wrote:most everyother free email provider offers it
i am pretty sure you cannot forward mail though aim mail or hotmail. most email providers do not provide any type of forwarding. they may allow access through POP or similar (the “big” ones don’t anymore: hotmail, yahoo).topramen422 wrote:Is there a way to configure Yahoo’s mail settings to forward all the email I get to a different email address that is not Yahoo?Thanks!

PopPeeper doesn’t even require you to have Outlook (or Outlook Express), just Internet Explorer and Windows.
it works with Hotmail even though MSN/Hotmail/Microsoft said “Hotmail no longer allows email access via Outlook Express for free Hotmail/MSN accounts.” (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;878462)
