Forward your Gmail emails automatically to another account

Automatic email forwarding is a handy feature of Gmail that allows you to automatically forward received emails to another email account. Whether you want to consolidate your work and personal emails into one account or just forward specific emails to another account, this feature is here to make your life easier. Here's how to set up automatic email forwarding in Gmail.

Step 1: Enable mail forwarding in the original Gmail account

  1. Log in to your Gmail account whose emails you want to forward.
  2. Click the gear icon located in the upper right corner of the window, then select “See all settings”.
  3. Go to the “Transfer and POP/IMAP” tab.
  4. In the “Forwarding” section, click on “Add a forwarding address”.
  5. Enter the email address you want to forward the emails to, then click “Next”.
  6. A confirmation message will be sent to the email address you added. Go to this email address, open the message and click the confirmation link to authorize the transfer.

Step 2: Configure transfer settings

  1. Go back to the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab in Gmail settings.
  2. In the “Forwarding” section, select the “Forward a copy of incoming messages to” option and choose the email address you want to forward the emails to.
  3. Choose what you want to do with the forwarded emails in the original account (keep them, mark them as read, archive them or delete them).
  4. Click “Save Changes” to apply the settings.

Now the emails received in your original Gmail account will be automatically forwarded to the specified email address. You can adjust these settings at any time by returning to the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab in Gmail settings.
