Is there a way to forward my Yahoo mail to my Gmail account without paying?

Question

I looked around a little bit on Yahoo and it looks like if I upgrade, I can forward my email. But I'm a cheapskate and I hate checking different accounts. Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

update: It seems like Yahoo closed the loophole below, but I was able to forward my new @ymail.com email account by using this link. YMMV: another regular @yahoo.com email did not work... source

I've been forwarding my free Yahoo email to my Gmail for a long time, now...

Try changing your location setting:

You can forward Yahoo email without having a Yahoo Plus account for FREE. Just change your location setting to Yahoo! Asia. Then your mail settings will allow you to forward or use POP to synch or forward to GMAIL. [This works like a charm!!! This does not change your time zone]

Answer 2

Is your email @yahoo.com or @ymail.com? For YMail, you can check it with pop3 access, and thus you can have GMail check your YMail account using pop3.

Answer 3

Another option for getting a Yahoo premium account is if you are an AT&T customer, you can get it for free. Just follow the first few steps on my blog if you need help setting this up.
