Simply link your yahoo mail to your gmail. This is exactly what I did, so all my yahoo emails are forwarded to my Gmail so I only need to access my Gmail.
Got a tip for us?

Former Apple Engineer Introduces Native Gmail Client for Mac With Multi-Account Support, System Notifications, and More

I personally use Apple Mail for my iCloud email (actually it's an old iTools @mac.com e-mail!) and Spark for my various company owned Gmail accounts, but I'm always on the lookout for other good e-mail clients!
Mimestream looks interesting, with a really clean interface, and not a ton of thrills. I'll probably check it out for a bit, but I really do like Spark, and it's focus on a clean inbox.

You'd guess wrong, but hey, you do you. As long as your choices make you happy, I'm happy for you. I'll stick with mine and be just as happy.
Wait, what? It only works for Gmail accounts?!? That's a non-starter.
If there's ONE thing I am sure about it is that I most definitely DO NOT want to use Gmail (or any other "Google the evil company" services).

It depends on the non-compete clauses in your contract. I’ve had cases where my contract stated that for some time (usually a year) from the end I’d need to get my previous client’s permission to work on something similar. The idea is not to use the knowledge you have to benefit a competitor.
California looks on non-compete clauses with extreme disfavor, rendering them illegal in most circumstances.
There are 3 de facto email protocol standards: IMAP, Google's Gmail, and Microsoft's Exchange. I don't know this for sure but given Google's size, it may well be that Gmail is the single most popular/used email protocol in the world. If this is true, then it might make sense for the developer to start there, given that you have to start somewhere.
Also, more directly to your point, the developer states in his FAQ that he plans to support both IMAP and Exchange protocols in a future, post-launch release:

Note the emphasis on it being built with a compiled language and native UI libraries. Several years ago, that was a given.
Now, it's not because people often use Electron, which ends up bloated (an entire bundled web browser + slow JS code) and non-native-feeling. I'm guilty of it too. It's just so much easier that it's hard to justify doing things the proper way.

The article says this:
For example, you can't make Gmail filters in the regular Mail app. Though regular Mail seems to already support GSuite directory autocomplete.

The only requirement i had when moving was a legal person telling me that matching names and technical positions in a company is illegal to provide to the new copmany HR folks , i.e I can say cmaier is a great engineer, I cannot say cmaier is a great integer unit engineer , as for some reason this is a "secret" of the company.
I won't use it, but I would if I only used Gmail, which is the case for many people.
Also, simplicity of SMTP and IMAP? Those are needlessly complex protocols, partially due to their age. My goodness, I remember trying to get SSL and message signatures working on my mail server after I had set up the magical MX and whatever DNS stuff for it. It's no wonder the big services gave up and did their own thing.
It doesn't look like a Mail app, it looks like a Mac app, this developer has a great taste.
This is exactly why I am so glad to be using a PC these days and even have my Macbooks running Windows only since Apple considers them obsolete.

Mimestream is free for a limited time while in beta and will eventually be a paid app distributed through the Mac App Store. macOS Catalina or later is required. Jhaveri says an iOS and iPadOS version of the app is planned for the future.
There is absolutely nothing in an email client that would require it to run only on Catalina or newer just like there is no technical reason as to why my rMBP from 2012 cannot run Big Sur. It's just a load of hogwash and planned obsolescence of disposable hardware to line the pockets of Apple.
Well, that rMBP is not obsolete and doesn't deserve to disappear on some landfill. It is still fast and will do anything thrown at it. If Apple does not want to support it, others happily will. Windows 10 absolutely flies on this machine, and once you break the vendor lock-in created by Apple by installing something else on your Mac, the genie is out of the bottle and the likelihood of return sales is diminishing rapidly for Apple.
I have heard this response from way too many people, especially those with AOL emails.
You can easily go to a new email and have your email clients read your old Yahoo and your new xxxmail. I read mail from three different domains on my MAC and Iphone and Ipad. They all go to one inbox. I can easily separate to see who is still using the old email and get it corrected if need be.
You are NOT locked in.
"macOS Catalina or later is required"
Oh well.....leaves me out...with all the Catalina hate on here, I might just stay on Mojave until 11.0.6 comes out late next year

Agreed that IMAP is an older, inefficient protocol, and that big players such as Microsoft and Google have seen fit to go their own ways with their own protocols. But this begs the question why there hasn't been any industry collaboration to improve (or conceivably, even replace) IMAP to address its efficiency shortcomings and extend its capabilities (e.g. to support some of the fancy things that Exchange and GMail can do, such as better handling of metadata (labels)).
The version number of a semi-mature/reliable Big Sur will probably be 11.6 instead of 11.0.6 -- that was part of the rational of incrementing the major version number (it also presumably aligns macOS and iOS version incrementing custom).
I bounce between 3 different gmail accounts for work and am very excited about this! I use the calendar, drive and email the most and am really excited about this program.
Neil Jhaveri, a former Apple engineer who worked on the company's default Mail app, has introduced a new Gmail client for macOS.
Available in beta, Mimestream is a native app written in Swift and designed with AppKit and SwiftUI for a clean, stock appearance. Jhaveri says the app is designed to be fast, lightweight, and use a minimal amount of disk space.
Mimestream uses the Gmail API rather than IMAP to support more Gmail-specific features, such as categorized inboxes, automatically synced aliases and signatures, full labels integration, and search operators. Jhaveri plans to add more features over time, including Google Drive support, server-side filter configuration, and G Suite directory autocomplete.
Mimestream's advantages over using the Gmail web interface include support for multiple Gmail accounts with a unified inbox, system-level notifications, system-level Dark Mode support, swipe gestures, tracking prevention, and more.
Jhaveri says Mimestream only makes direct connections to Gmail and does not use intermediary servers, adding that the app does not collect or sell users' emails.
Mimestream is free for a limited time while in beta and will eventually be a paid app distributed through the Mac App Store. macOS Catalina or later is required. Jhaveri says an iOS and iPadOS version of the app is planned for the future.

Apple’s client does not have “snooze” - that’s the only GMail feature I pretty much can’t live without
