Refers to: Yahoo! Account , Mail , Mail Classic , Mobile Mail

Description

This article addresses the question of whether Yahoo! Mail Plus is required to use the following features:

  • Forward messages to an alternate email account automatically
  • Using POP to access Yahoo! Mail through an external email program such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail

Resolution

These features are just some of the features offered through our Yahoo! Mail Plus service.

  • Forward messages to an alternate email account automatically
  • POP access for a Yahoo! Mail account

To have your messages automatically forwarded to an alternate email address, or to be able to use an external email client or external service access your Yahoo! Mail account, you need to have an active subscription to our Yahoo! Mail Plus service.

For a list of supported email clients and instructions on how to set them up, see Accessing Yahoo! Mail Plus using an external email program
