How to forward your Yahoo! Mail messages to Gmail without paying for Yahoo! Mail Plus

If you want to forward all incoming messages to your Yahoo! Mail account to another email, such as a Gmail, you probably now know that Yahoo forces you to purchase Yahoo! Mail Plus, which costs $19.99 per year. That's a pretty steep investment just to forward your emails to another account! 

However, there is a very easy solution to forward all your emails from your Yahoo! Mail account to another service, such as Gmail. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Login to your Yahoo! account. Go to http://yahoo.com and click on your name in the top right-hand corner of the page. You should notice a drop down menu show up – click on the “Account Info” link.

Step 2: If prompted, type in your account's password and sign in.

Step 3: Scroll down on the page until you notice a link on the left-hand side of the page that is titled “Set language, site, and time zone.” Click on it.

Step 4: In the drop down menu next to the text that reads “Regional Site and Language,” find “Yahoo! United Kingdom” and click on it.

Step 5: Save your settings and close this page.

Step 6: Login to your Yahoo! Mail account and enter the settings (it's different for every design you're on, so look somewhere near the top of the page). In the menu on the left, find the section that reads “POP & Forwarding.” Click on it.

Step 7: You should now notice the option to forward your messages from Yahoo! Mail to another email address is enabled. Type in the email address you'd like to forward the messages to in the text box on the page. 

That's it!
