Windows 10: Added Yahoo to Gmail account. New received Yahoo emails not received

Added Yahoo to Gmail account. New received Yahoo emails not received in Gmail



It did bring in all of the emails in my folders from Yahoo perfectly and put them under a new heading in Gmail as [email protected]



However I was hoping it would also read the emails that show up (new) in my Yahoo email as they are received by Yahoo?



I decided to no longer pay the subscription price for ad free Yahoo which now includes forwarding emails. So I cannot set up forwarding anymore. I initially tried setting up an outlook.com email address with my yahoo account linked but UNLESS the email is sent directly to the @Outlook.com address it will not forward. And on occasion outlook.com shuts off the forwarding rule automatically. Strange.


Perhaps there is another webmail to try?


Why do I want to do this? Well Alexa can read emails from Gmail and Gmail only.
And I have used Yahoo for so long I do not want to change every single contact I know, subscription, sign in, etc to gmail.....


Thanks in advance,
Peter

Yahoo account won't receive mail


I've started using Mail app in Wndows 10 on a trial basis, on my desktop PC.

I've added my Yahoo mail account and can send emails but cannot receive them.

I tried using a solution offered in a post on another thread, by logging into my Yahoo account, and going to security to add a specific password for my account for apps, but cannot find any option to do this.

The only option it offers is to use/disable less secure options.

Any help would be appreciated.

Update: Mail started being received 30 minutes after I had sent it from another email client.

Gripes about Mail app:

• Emails can't be saved to desktop
• Font defaults can't be set size and text chosen, eg Arial

 

Updating Yahoo Email Account


I have sync'ed my Yahoo email account with Outlook and Gmail. Worked great for a while but am now receiving a message saying "Your Yahoo email settings need to be updated". Can't send or receive with Yahoo email unless I go direct to Yahoo email with my browser. Need some help.
Thanks

 

Forwarding Yahoo Email on Android Phone?

My boss has a Droid X and we were wondering what the easiest way would be for him to read his work emails (Yahoo Business account) on his phone. Is there an app similar to the Gmail one for Android that can alert him and such when he receives new emails?
