To clarify, if you want to remove your Yahoo account from Gmail, it means that you want to unlink your Yahoo email account from your Gmail account. Here are the steps to do so:
1. Open your Gmail account on a computer browser.
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the page to access the settings menu.
3. From the drop-down menu, select “Settings.”
Now, there are two scenarios to consider:
Scenario 1: Yahoo account added using POP/IMAP settings
If you have added your Yahoo account to Gmail using the POP or IMAP settings, follow these steps:
4. In the Settings menu, click on the “Accounts and Import” tab.
5. Under the “Check mail from other accounts” section, you will see the Yahoo account listed.
6. Click on the “delete” button next to the Yahoo account you want to remove.
7. A confirmation pop-up will appear asking if you want to remove the account. Click “OK” to confirm.
By following these steps, you will successfully remove your Yahoo account from Gmail. However, please note that your Yahoo account will still remain active and accessible separately.
Scenario 2: Yahoo account added using Gmailify
If you have used the Gmailify feature to link your Yahoo account to Gmail, the process of unlinking is slightly different:
4. In the Settings menu, click on the “Accounts and Import” tab.
5. Under the “Check mail from other accounts” section, you will see the Yahoo account listed.
6. Click on the “Unlink” button next to the Yahoo account you want to remove.
7. A confirmation pop-up will appear asking if you want to unlink the account. Click “Unlink” to confirm.
Once you have completed these steps, your Yahoo account will be unlinked from Gmail. However, your Yahoo account will still remain active and accessible separately.
It’s worth mentioning that removing your Yahoo account from Gmail will not delete your Yahoo account. It simply removes the ability to access your Yahoo emails from within your Gmail account. If you wish to delete your Yahoo account entirely, you will need to do so separately through Yahoo’s account termination process.
I hope this information helps you successfully remove your Yahoo account from Gmail. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
