How to Redirect Mail to Gmail
Gmail from Google is one of the most popular email clients in the industry because of its convenient user interface and advanced features. Opening a Gmail account is common, but once you do, you still want to be able to receive emails that are sent to your other email address. While you can alert your contacts of the email change, some emails might still go to the other account. In this case, you can set up your other email account to redirect mail to your Gmail inbox.

Once you select the appropriate options, click on "Save" and leave the screen. At that point, all of your new incoming mail that meets the criteria you set will be forwarded to your Gmail account.
