    Same issue, not happy at all as a sky account passed to Yahoo by Sky some time ago, no notification re change of policy from either party and to top it all, there are issues since the upgrade to IOS 9 with the constant request to re-enter the password on all the mobile devices for each family member - my main reason for attempting to place a temporary forward from each account in the first place.- parties in breweries springs to mind!

    [I can't add a lengthy description in the question, so here:] I had previously set up forwarding. Now on Settings, the forwarding is there, but grayed out. In addition, no forwarding address is shown--though I had defined one before. I'm not sure what's happening to my Yahoo email, and seem to have no way of controlling it.

  • Same problem here. I'm trying to forward my emails from Yahoo to an external address, and it won't let me even after I add the other account. The option is greyed out.

    same here.

    easy setup of automatic forwarding was a main reason for me to choose Yahoo Mail.
