Hello!





It depends where you have your Yahoo account. Yahoo Italy allows POP3 access for free. In the US of A it's a premium feature as far as I remember and you need to sign up for this premium service.





Or you could just use a third-party software that downloads your Yahoo mails (via http), stores them on your computer and forwards it to Google. (Yahoo Pops is the name as far as I remember...). There are several software products out there. Some for free, some cost money.





For WL Hotmail... download the Windows Live Hotmail software to your computer. The newest version allows the download of Hotmail messages to your local computer. Create a second account (imap4) for google and try to move your messages to Gmail.





I know it's a real bad solution, but it's probably the only way. Or just forward your Gmail to your Yahoo Mail %26amp; Hotmail account ;)





Try out http://v3.izymail.com.... but the service ain't free as far as I remember. Just the first 10 or 20 messages or so are free... if you want them to forward more... you need to pay.
Reply:Hey Swimoo....,


Later you can retrieve other online email such as yahoo %26amp; hotmail in your gmail account


Check this link http://mail.google.com/support...


you will find a suggestion under Helpfull suggesiton #Import messages from my other email accounts# Report Abuse

Reply:click settings (top left corner), go to Accounts tab, click add another email adress where it says "get mail from other accounts"


then enter your email, then, on the next step, enter your password and check off any options you like. Click add account when you're done.
