Forward Emails

Do you have more than one Email accounts? Do you spend lots of time checking each email addresses worrying that you may miss important emails? Wouldn't it be good if you can get all your emails in one Email address?
With Gmail, you can forward incoming messages to another email address automatically. (Another reason to switch to gmail!) This How-To Article shows you how to forward emails from Gmail to other email address automatically.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Gmail Account

  2. Step 2

    Go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.

    Select how Gmail should handle forwarded messages. Select one of the following:
    keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox to have Gmail leave the message in your Gmail Inbox as new and unread.
    archive Gmail's copy (probably the most useful setting) to make Gmail mark forwarded messages as read and remove them from the Inbox, but keep them in the archive for later search and retrieval.
    trash Gmail's copy to move message to the Trash after they have been forwarded. Trashed messages will be deleted automatically after 30 days.

  5. Step 5

    Click Save Changes.
