Is there a free way to forward my yahoo email to gmail?
Not sure. I tried to set up a forward (a while ago now) but it didn't work if the destination was another free account.





You could be cunning and write a SMTP/POP forwarder; should be pretty straightforward, but obviously requires a machine to run on. Perhaps if you had a website with CGI you could do it remotely...





Hmm. If I wasn't about to go out, I'd be tempted to do this myself!
Reply:I don't see why not--I forward email from one account to another often. Why would there be a charge? Though, I am not familiar with gmail's policies. Yahoo would have no reason to care--people often import/export their email from MSN, Yahoo!, AOL, whatever...
