To move your Yahoo Mail to a Gmail account, you can follow these steps:

Enable POP Access in Yahoo Mail:

Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
Go to "Settings" by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner.
Select "More Settings" from the dropdown menu.
In the Settings menu, click on "Accounts" and then select your Yahoo email account.
Enable POP access by turning on the toggle switch.
Save the changes.
Set Up Gmail to Import Yahoo Mail:

Log in to your Gmail account.
Click on the gear icon in the top-right corner and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
In the "Check mail from other accounts" section, click on "Add a mail account".
Enter your Yahoo email address and click on "Next".
Choose "Import emails from my other account (POP3)" and click on "Next".
Enter your Yahoo email address, username, password, POP server (pop.mail.yahoo.com), and port (995).
Select the desired options for importing, such as whether to leave a copy of the messages on the server or archive them.
Click on "Add Account" to start the import process. Gmail will connect to your Yahoo account and import the emails.
Configure Yahoo Mail Forwarding (Optional):

If you want to receive future emails sent to your Yahoo account in Gmail, you can set up email forwarding in Yahoo Mail.
In your Yahoo Mail account, go to "Settings" and select "More Settings".
Click on "Mailboxes" and then choose your Yahoo email account.
Enable email forwarding and enter your Gmail email address.
Save the changes.
Verify the Import and Update Gmail Settings:

Once the import process is complete, Gmail will show a confirmation message.
Check your Gmail inbox and other labels to ensure that the imported Yahoo emails are available.
Update any necessary Gmail settings, such as filters, labels, or signatures, to match your preferences.
