How to get emails from your Yahoo! mail to your mobile?

Yahoo mail allows you to Setup Mail Forwards to any other e-mail like GMail, mobee or something else.

NOTE: Yahoo mail does not have the option of Forwarding a Copy of your e-mail, essentially it means that it will not store your e-mail if you setup a mail forward. It just forwards the email and deletes it.

Refer to Forwarding Yahoo! Mail on how to Forward a Yahoo mail to another e-mail account.

Here are the Quick Steps!

Login to Yahoo! mail

Go to Options => POP Access and Forwarding

Enter the e-mail address to which you want to forward your yahoo mail.

You can give your_mobile_number@mobee.in here. If you are not registered yet, Get one it's free. Visit http://mobee.in

Yahoo! doesn't seem to leave a copy of your e-mail in Yahoo! if you setup a mail forward like this - so know what you are doing!

There are other alternative ways of getting Yahoo mail on your mobile - just follow the article below!

Your verification mail will be forwarded back to your e-mail that you have registered on mobee - so that you can activate the forwards on Yahoo!

On Verificaiton - Yahoo! forwards all the e-mails to mobee e-mail, which u can access it on ur mobile.

Is there any alternative way to get my Yahoo! mails on mobile?

There are two ways you can do this:

If you have an other web mail account (say Gmail) - you can do one of the following:

1) Setup a mail forward in Yahoo! to your Gmail account - as explained above

This will send all your Yahoo mails onto your Gmail account - you can easily manage all your e-mails in Gmail with Labels & Filters.

Refer to How to get emails from Gmail to your mobile? for more details on how to do this.

2) Setup a mail fetcher in Gmail to fetch all your emails from other mail accounts
