Yahoo stopped forwarding emails to external accounts about two years
ago. They require you to log on to read you mail (add revenue I guess).
You can upgrade the account and get that feature among others for 30$ a
year which is much more then its worth to me.
I don't know where you are writing from but about a year ago yahoo.au
still gave that option over a year after yahoo.com stopped, don't know
about now.
