I’m tired of having to visit other sites in order to check mail. I have a dot com that I’ve owned for years and would like to have mail from Yahoo automatically forwarded to the dot com mail. I cannot find any option on Yahoo’s site that would allow this.

If it is possible to do what I want to do, does anybody here know how to go about and if so, will you please explain to me how to do it?

I’m fairly certain Yahoo will not tell me what I want to know.

IIRC, you have to sign up for the Yahoo+ thing. This is why I pretty much abandoned my Yahoo address; logging in was a pain. You can also use POP access, IIRC…
