How to Access Yahoo Mail in Gmail

It's possible to get your Yahoo Mail on Gmail using a service called Gmailify. You can also send messages using your Yahoo email address when you sync Yahoo Mail with Gmail.

Instructions in this article apply to the standard web versions of Yahoo Mail and Gmail. The steps are the same in any browser.

How to Get Yahoo Emails on Gmail

To set up Gmail to receive and send messages from your Yahoo Mail account:

In Gmail, select the gear icon and choose See all settings.
Select Accounts and Import.
In the Check mail from other accounts section, select Add a mail account.
In the Email address text box, enter your Yahoo Mail address, then select Next.
Select Link accounts with Gmailify and select Next.

The other option removes your messages from Yahoo Mail. Use Gmailify to manage your Yahoo account from either Yahoo Mail or from Gmail.

Gmailify doesn't require a subscription to Yahoo Mail Pro. Before Gmailify launched in 2016, you couldn't send or receive Yahoo Mail messages through your Gmail account without subscribing to Yahoo's premium service.
In the Yahoo Mail login screen, enter your username and password, adjust the permissions, and then select Agree.
In the You've been Gmailified window, select Close.
In Gmail, go to Settings > Accounts and Import to verify that the settings are configured as you intended. By default, Gmail replies to all messages from your Gmail address. To change this setting, go to the Send mail as section and select Reply from the same address the message was sent to.
Return to this screen at any time to unlink your Yahoo Mail account. Select unlink next to your Yahoo Mail address.

It's also possible to import your Yahoo contacts to Gmail.
In the next window, either keep or delete the imported mail from your Yahoo Mail account. Choose the option you want and click Unlink to complete the process.
