Yahoo Mail only supports all-or-nothing forwarding on paid plans (Yahoo Mail Plus). There’s no way to forward only newsletters - all emails will be forwarded to Summate.

​
Requirements

  • Yahoo Mail Plus or Access + Forwarding subscription (not available on free accounts)
  • Verification of forwarding address

​
Setup Instructions

1

Access Forwarding Settings

  1. Open Yahoo Mail in your browser
  2. Click the Settings gear → More settings
  3. Navigate to Mailboxes
  4. Click on your primary email account
2

Enable Auto-Forwarding

  1. Find the Auto-forwarding section
  2. Enter your Summate inbox: username@inbox.summate.io
  3. Click Verify
  4. Check your Summate inbox for verification email
  5. Complete verification and Save
Important Limitation: Yahoo filters can move emails to folders but cannot forward them. If you need selective forwarding for newsletters only, consider using a different email provider.

​
Recommendation

Given Yahoo’s all-or-nothing limitation, we recommend one of these alternatives:
  1. Use a different provider - Gmail, Outlook, or Fastmail support selective forwarding
  2. Create a forwarding chain - Forward Yahoo → Gmail → Summate with filters in Gmail
  3. Manual forwarding - Forward individual newsletters as needed

​
Next Steps

Gmail Setup

Consider setting up Gmail with selective filters instead
