I think you'd need to turn forwarding on with your Yahoo! account first. There are options in Gmail to send mail from another address - so you could configure things to make it look like you're sending from your Yahoo! account. |
Actually it's not exactly what I want... I just would like to use Gmail as a POP client for all my other email accounts. Just like I do with Yahoo at the moment. Forwarding is not interresting as if tomorrow I want to use Yahoo again, all emails I will have read in Gmail won't be marked as read in Yahoo, they will just have been forwarded (I think). And everything will be just as if I had not checked my emails since a long time.
What I want to do is managing all my email accounts in ONE place, but not receiving all my emails in ONE mailbox.

And I don't want this place to be my computer...
Actually I would like to be able tu use a webmail which could retrieve my emails from different servers all over the Internet. In this way there would be no way for me to lose my emails. And if I want to keep dreaming, I would like a client for this webmail running under Linux not to have to start my browser each time I want to check my emails... In this case, my computer can blast tomorrow, all my emails would be stored in the webmail in the exact status as they were in the mail client last time I used it.
Still here?
So it seems a few Gmail client are already existing for Linux, now I just need to find a way to use Gmail "as an email client" for my other email accounts (Yahoo, Yahoo again, Free.fr, etc...).
