This guide covers Yahoo Mail. Yahoo’s forwarding only delivers new emails after it’s set up — past emails aren’t backfilled.
Yahoo Mail’s automatic forwarding requires a Yahoo Mail Plus subscription and isn’t offered in every locale. AOL Mail (owned by Yahoo) doesn’t expose automatic forwarding at all per AOL’s current help — if you’re on AOL Mail, use a Gmail/Microsoft 365 account as the forwarding source instead, or upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus on a Yahoo address.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Yahoo Mail Plus account
  • Your Molin inbound address from the email setup wizard

​
Yahoo Mail

The exact path differs slightly between the new and older Yahoo Mail interfaces:
  1. Open Yahoo Mail and sign in
  2. Click the More options icon (or the Settings gear, depending on UI version) in the top-right, then choose Settings
  3. In the older interface only, click More Settings at the bottom of the panel
  4. Choose Mailboxes from the left sidebar
  5. Click your primary account name under Mailbox list
  6. Scroll to Auto-forwarding (newer UI) or Forwarding (older UI) and paste your Molin inbound address into the field
  7. Click Verify — Yahoo sends a verification email to your Molin address
  8. In the Molin Inbox, open Yahoo’s email and click the verification link
  9. Back in Yahoo settings, the forwarding status flips to Verified. Save changes

​
Verification

Yahoo forwarding only activates after you click the verification link. The Molin email setup wizard at molin.ai/app/channels/email surfaces incoming verification emails as a clickable confirmation button — use it for the fastest path.

Reference

For Yahoo’s own documentation, see Enable automatic email forwarding in New Yahoo Mail (newer interface) or Enable automatic email forwarding in Yahoo Mail (older interface). AOL Mail has no equivalent feature per the AOL Mail Help hub — its automatic forwarding section is absent and the help search returns only filter-based organisation, not destination forwarding.
