Get Yahoo Mail in Gmail - Email Help Desk

• Kindly Note** Gmail access requires a Yahoo! Mail Plus subscription; it does not work with plain Yahoo! Mail accounts.
• Additional Note 1** In addition to fetching new messages, Gmail also can import existing mail (and address book entries) from your Yahoo! Mail account; this does not require Yahoo! Mail Plus.
• Additional Note 2** As an alternative to having Yahoo! Mail download new mail, you also can set up Yahoo! Mail (with a Yahoo! Mail Plus subscription) to forward to your Gmail address.

If you find Gmail's interface more intuitive and convenient than Yahoo!'s, you're not alone: Many email users appreciate Gmail's advanced search capabilities, flexibility, and organizational aids. If you've been using Yahoo! for email but prefer Gmail, there's no need to change your email address or close your Yahoo! account. Luckily, Gmail makes it easy for you to receive and send email through your Yahoo! account using its interface.

Once you go through the procedure outlined below, your Yahoo! email will show up in both your Yahoo! and Gmail accounts as it's received. You'll also be able to send email using your Yahoo! address right from Gmail.
