Note that I don’t have a Business or Premium account. I just have the standard Yahoo! free e-mail account. I’ve looked in the “options” area and it’s somewhat vague, plus the Help function is No-Help at all.

So, can I assign a secondary e-mail account to auto-forward my e-mails as they arrive in my Inbox? What about forwarding them to a mobile phone? I’ve “registered” my cel phone through Yahoo!, but the link they e-mailed me was just a different version of the Yahoo interface, and didn’t have any additional functionality that I could tell (Note: I can receive e-mails to my cel, but I can’t access the Internet itself; it’s a pretty cheapo model).

Thanks for any help! 🙂

Nope.

Only with a Yahoo! Mail Plus account —\> [Help for your Yahoo Account](http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/index.html)
