Either forward the mails towards your Gmail-Account or do it manually by subscribing with your new email address. There is no other way.

If it's personal, notify them if they keep sending mails to your Yahoo, they should have gotten the autoreply.
If it's account-based / newsletters, log in to the service and change your e-mail address
This proces will take you a while, but this way you: Spam people your new e-mail address, slowly migrate to your new e-mail address, filter out all the newsletters and services you didn't want before.

The timing is too coincidental with the recent scandal, so probably it's just a way to keep users from leaving. It's just my guess, though.
Auto forward has been a basic email service since more than decade ago, there's no excuse to disable it to 'improve' it a.k.a Yahoo reasoning why they disabled it.

Have you been hacked or something?
Why change at all?

gmail does, but you are wanting to change from yahoo, to gmail.. not from gmail to yahoo.. gmail having said feature is pointless ;)
the only thing i can think of is like spacefall said.. using popchecker to have gmail pull your messages from your old yahoo account.. it would still require the yahoo account to stay and not be deleted, but it should work similarly to a forwarder (except in this case your yahoo will still be stacking messages that appear unread, and eventually even get full at which point you will have to manually remove your yahoo messages to make room for more)

Is it possible to add Yahoo to your Gmail inbox as a POP3 or IMAP account, or does Yahoo prevent that? I can't check as I'm no longer a Yahoo mail user, but worth a try. I notice the POP3 article mentions the lack of email forwarding (it also mentions that if you formerly used forwarding, you won't be able to use POP)

I decided to switch from Yahoo Mail to GMail, but there is one problem and I need your help.
You see, I subscribed to many newsletters so I can receive new deals from different stores that sell Steam games, receive update blogs from games people are developing, receive emails from bundle sites like Humble and Bundle Stars who send me great deals on bundles and games on discounted prices and so on.
The problem rises is that I want to delete my Yahoo Mail account, but how do I receive all these emails on my GMail account instead of Yahoo?
I know that there is a thing called "Email Forwarding" where it sends emails from one account to another, but I read somewhere that if you delete an account, you won't receive forwarded email.
So, what do I do? Do I have to ask every single site I subscribed to change the email or there is a simpler way to do it?
