Yahoo ruins Yahoo Mail

I'm surprised they are still around. I haven't had an email from a yahoo address for over a decade.

If you just use Apple’s email app with Yahoo you won’t get any ads.

The folders don't work correctly. I just added an email to my insurance folder and when I checked Yahoo it went into a different folder

IMAP with Yahoo! and Apple mail used to be very bad. I have an old account that I keep around. It has gotten better as I now can delete email from Apple Mail. I haven't checked the web site to see if it actually updates the server though.

Edit: I just checked, and the Yahoo! web site it upadintg properly when using Apple Mail. It was a limited test, but it worked :D

I tried it and for some reason no good.
I was going to try setting up another Gmail account to port over my yahoo emails but when I looked into it I read that I can only do this for 30 days so it doesn't seem like a permanent solution.
 
Tips:

  • After you import, Gmail forwards messages sent to your other account for 30 days.
  • Your new Gmail address is visible for 60 days, or until you delete the reminder.

Add another email account on your computer - Gmail Help

In a web browser, at mail.google.com, you can add: Another Gmail account. A non-Gmail account like Yahoo or iCloud Mail. You can add up to 5 email addresses to your Gmail account.
support.google.com
 
I'm not sure that's a continuation of the steps to add the Yahoo account to the Gmail account. That's in a different section regarding abandoning an old email address for a new Gmail account.

In the case we're discussing, the Yahoo account will still be active and the Gmail account will behave like an email client…checking the Yahoo account email until…well…until the end of time, I suppose.

Then I am going to give it a shot, just have to come up with a mail name, maybe I'll use the same as I use for Yahoo
