If you’re like many people, you probably have more than one email account. At the very least, you might have one for work (for example, me@myco-inc.com) and one for your personal email (like me@yahoo.com). You might also have one for online shopping (me@iliketoshop.com) and one for a business affiliation (me@writers.org). Totalled, these examples equal four accounts and four different environments in which to read them.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could manage all of these accounts in one location? Yes, it would, and Yahoo! Mail can help you do that.
All Yahoo! Mail users can send and retrieve email from other email accounts (including other Yahoo! Mail accounts) while working in their Yahoo! Mail account. To learn how to retrieve messages from an external account while using Yahoo! Mail, take a look at the Using Other Email Accounts With Yahoo! Mail tutorial. (Note that the other account must have POP3 access for this to work.)
If you’re a Yahoo! Mail Plus user, you can also:
Forward your Yahoo! Mail messages to another email account (including another Yahoo! Mail account). The Opening Yahoo! Mail Your Way tutorial shows you how. Using this option, your email is diverted to the other account and never sees the inside of your Yahoo! Mail Inbox.
Allow an external email account to send and receive your Yahoo! Mail messages. You’ll have to set this up in the external account—if it’s a Yahoo! Mail account, you can learn how to do it in the Using Other Email Accounts With Yahoo! Mail tutorial. When you send and receive Yahoo! Mail using an outside account, your Yahoo! Mail messages are delivered to both accounts, so you can still read them in Yahoo! Mail if you want. You can decide if you want to keep or delete the messages from your Yahoo! Mail account.
Read your Yahoo! Mail messages using an email application installed on your computer, such as Outlook or Eudora, or your mobile phone, such as VersaMail. Some email applications allow you to receive mail from more than one POP account at the same time. We cover this in the Opening Yahoo! Mail Your Way tutorial. You can decide if you want to keep or delete the messages from your Yahoo! Mail account once they are downloaded to your email application.
In the Opening Yahoo! Mail Your Way tutorial, you’ll also find information on how to read your Yahoo! Mail in a Web browser and how to use the Yahoo! Toolbar to access Mail.
Our goal is to offer you the best email service available and to make it as easy and convenient as possible to access. Take a look at these options and choose the one that works best for you.
