Introduction

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up automated email forwarding in Yahoo Mail for regular consumer accounts. We’ll cover how to forward emails from individual sender addresses and entire domains.

Prerequisites

• Access to a computer (not mobile device)
• An Aiko account (for forwarding to Aiko)

Copy your Aiko Forwarding Address

Before setting up forwarding in Yahoo Mail, you’ll need your Aiko forwarding address:

1. Sign into your account at app.aikoemail.com
2. Find the Snapshot you want to forward emails to.
3. Click the Snapshot.
4. Click “Copy” on the “Forward emails here” field.

The email address will look something like this:

[email protected]

Forwarding Emails from Individual Sender Addresses or Domains

Yahoo Mail doesn’t have a built-in feature to forward emails from specific senders or domains. However, you can create filters to achieve similar results:

1. Sign in to your Yahoo Mail account.
2. Click on the gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner.
3. Select “More Settings” from the dropdown menu.
4. In the left sidebar, click on “Filters”.
5. Click on “Add new filters”.
6. Give your filter a name (e.g., “Forward emails from John” or “Forward emails from example.com”).
7. Under “From”, enter the email address or domain you want to filter.
   • For an individual: enter the full email address
   • For a domain: enter “@domainname.com” (replace “domainname.com” with the actual domain)
8. Under “Then”, select “Forward to”.
9. Enter the forwarding email address (e.g., your Aiko address).
10. (Optional) Check “Move to folder” and select a folder if you want to organize these emails.
11. Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.

Managing Forwarding and Filters

1. Go to Yahoo Mail settings (gear icon > More Settings).
2. To manage forwarding, go to “Mailboxes” > “Forward”.
3. To manage filters, go to “Filters” in the left sidebar.
4. Here you can view, edit, or delete existing filters.

Tips

• Test your filters by sending test emails to ensure they’re working correctly.
• Regularly review your filters to keep them up-to-date.
• Yahoo Mail may have restrictions on forwarding to prevent spam. If you encounter issues, contact Yahoo support.

All set!

You’ve now set up automated email forwarding in Yahoo Mail. While Yahoo doesn’t offer direct forwarding for specific senders or domains, you can use filters to achieve similar results. This setup will make using Aiko even easier.
