If you aren’t logged into your Yahoo account, enter your email address and password before proceeding.
Click Settings in the upper-right corner of the page (if you see a purple gear here instead, you’re already using the old version of Yahoo). Click Switch to classic Mail in the bottom-left corner of the menu. Click Switch back to classic Mail at the bottom of the window. Wait for the page to reload.
Make sure this isn’t a Gmail account that you have linked to your Yahoo account.
At this point, you can switch back to the new version of Yahoo by clicking the blue One click away from your upgraded mailbox button in the lower-left side of the Yahoo inbox.
Open your Gmail inbox and log in if necessary. Open the “Please verify your email address” email from Yahoo (you may need to look in the Spam folder for this email). Click the click here link in the email. Sign into Yahoo if prompted. Click the blue Verify button in the middle of the page.
First re-open your Gmail inbox if you closed it.
If you receive an error stating that POP is a paid feature, click the “POP Server” drop-down box, then click pop. mail. yahoo. com in the resulting drop-down menu. You can then click Add Account again.
You may have to refresh your Gmail inbox (or just click Inbox on the left side of the page) before Yahoo emails will appear here.
