How to check Gmail in Yahoo

         If you are like me, and like Yahoo's mail interface than Gmail's one, then you must know how to check Gmail in  Yahoo. Most people are not aware of the fact that by doing this , not only can we read emails of our Gmail account, but can also send message message from  our Gmail account to others through Yahoo interface.

                                                                                            

Here are steps to Check Gmail in Yahoo Mail:

First we have to enable POP settings in Gmail. For that:

• Go to Gmail. Then, click on “Setting” option that comes in top Right corner of Gmail and in right click menu choose settings.
• In the window that appears, go to “Forwarding and POP / IMAP” tab.
• In this tab, go to “POP Download” section. Here, click on “Enable POP for all Email”. Then click on “Save Changes”. This step enables your Gmail to be accessed from external email clients.      

Second, we have to configure Gmail in Yahoo. For that

• Open Yahoo mail .
• Click on “Option”, and then “More Options..”
• In the Window that appears, click on “Accounts” option on Left side.
• Then, click on “Add Account” option that is available towards the Top of Right side window.
• In this, give an account name that you would like to identify your Gmail account by for e.g. “GMAIL” .
• Then give your full name in “From” name box.
• In the Email Address box, type email address of your Gmail account.
• Then in “Receiving Mail” section, choose the folder where you want your Gmail emails to be delivered in Yahoo mail. If you want to keep them separate, you can create a different folder in Yahoo Mail, and then direct all your Gmail emails to that.
• The provide your Gmail username and password in “Username” and “Password” box respectively.
• In “Server” box enter “pop.gmail.com”.
• Once you are done, click on “Save Changes” at the top.

By  this method , you can easily read email of you Gmail a/c in your Yahoo a/c & can also send message from gmail a/c right through Yahoo interface. This method also works on Hotmail but you have to change server address to pop3.live.com.
