Hello,
The easiest way to enable forwarding for a Yahoo Mail account is to upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus.
If you want to try and rig something up on your computer these directions may help :
The following directions will help you to configure your computer so that it will automatically download all e-mail from a free Yahoo mail account and forward it to another address such as your Gmail account. The required components are an active and free Yahoo.com email account, YPOPS, Microsoft Outlook, and an active email account with another service provider such as Gmail.
The first step is to setup a mail program on your computer such as Microsoft Outlook add YPOPS.
After getting the POP3 part of the setup working you can use Microsoft Outlook rules to automatically forward all new e-mails as they are received.
You can drag the Microsoft Outlook icon to the startup folder to automatically have it start when Windows reboots.
If the above is too technical or inconvenient of a setup for your computer consider upgrading to Yahoo Mail Plus.
