Why You Might Want to Forward Your Yahoo Emails

This feature can be useful for several reasons—for example, a personal preference for one email provider's interface over Yahoo's. Perhaps you don't use Yahoo as your main email provider and want to check only your primary email address. If you use your Yahoo account for shopping or other specific purposes, forwarding keeps related email messages separate but accessible through your main email service. Was this page helpful?
