The inconvenience associated with having multiple email accounts is no longer an issue thanks to email forwarding. Email forwarding allows you to configure and use multiple email accounts through one central email address. The central email address must be from an email service provider that supports forwarding. In addition, the email accounts added to your central email account must support Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3). Three major email providers that support email forwarding include, but are not limited to, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo Mail.
Yahoo Mail
Visit the Yahoo Mail homepage (see Resources) and sign into your account. If you do not have a Yahoo! Mail account, select the "Sign Up for Yahoo!" button located under "Don't have a Yahoo! ID?" and follow the prompts.
Click on the "Options" link in the top right-hand corner of the Yahoo! Mail page, select "Mail Addresses" under "Management" and then choose "Add" on the "Mail Accounts" page.
Type a name to identity the email account you would like to check in Yahoo! Mail, then select "Continue."
Enter the mail server name, user name and password of the third-party account in the boxes provided. If you do not know the server name, contact your email service provider or check the "Help" section of your email provider's homepage. The user name (the part of the email address before the "@" sign) and password must match the exact credentials you use when you sign into the account.
Identity messages received from the third-party account by choosing an indicator color.
Select the "Add Account" button. You can now receive emails from the non-Yahoo address you just added directly in your Yahoo Mail account.
Gmail
Sign in to your Gmail account by visiting the Gmail homepage (see Resources), typing your credentials, and then selecting the "Sign In" button. Select the "Create an account" button if you do not have a Gmail account and follow the prompts.

Select the "Add POP3 email account" option under the "Check mail using POP3" section.
