How to Access Yahoo Mail from Gmail

Gmail is an email service that is provided by Google, which tends to be a name of quality and innovation. Like any other service by Google, Gmail has also come up with some ground breaking features and services. Due to these innovative services (like fast servers and huge inbox space) lots of people switched to Gmail from Hotmail and Yahoo. The first problem you have to face when you change the email is that the contacts know only your old email and they send important emails on that email ID, even though you’ve now shifted to Gmail. But there’s a way out. You can use the perks of Gmail without losing important mails. Fortunately, Gmail provides the facility of mail access of yahoo email and other inboxes.
