Key notes
Many users reported that Gmail is not receiving Yahoo emails on their PC. This can be a big problem, especially if you’re waiting for a response from someone using Yahoo Mail.
Fortunately, it is not a problem that is impossible to fix, and we will show you how to go about it in this guide.
Why is my Gmail not receiving some emails?
Below are some of the potential reasons Gmail is not receiving Yahoo emails:
What can I do if Gmail is not receiving Yahoo emails?
1. Use an alternative email client program
Gmail supports IMAP and SMTP, two protocols that enable you to check your emails using other desktop programs. In addition, Mailbird is a popular email client service that automatically detects your Gmail server settings and lets you access your emails via its platform.
All you need to do is open the Mailbird app and add your Gmail account details via the Settings tab from the main menu. In this way, by using a third-party service, you won’t have any problems receiving and opening emails from Yahoo users.

2. Remove Yahoo emails from the blocked list
Sometimes, Gmail is not receiving Yahoo emails because of your settings. If you find any strange settings in the Filters and Blocked Addresses section, remove them.
3. Contact Google/Yahoo support
Gmail not being able to receive Yahoo emails can be frustrating, but in most cases, these issues are caused by email providers.
Since this is a server-side issue, there’s not much you can do as an end-user except to report the problem and wait for the issue to get resolved. Yahoo and Google are usually quick to fix these kinds of errors.
So you won’t have to wait for too long.
There are a few solutions you can try if Gmail isn’t receiving Yahoo emails. As you can see, this is usually a server-side problem and has been reported to be fixed already.
