How to forward Gmail emails to another Gmail address

Get to know how to configure email forwarding and check the emails from all your addresses directly in your new mailbox.

Email forwarding is a very useful function. For example, you want to change your email address and have already created a new one. But not everyone knows the new address, so you still need to get emails from the old address. Regularly checking two mailboxes will take to much of your time. In this case, it is easier to configure email forwarding and check the emails from both addresses directly in your new mailbox.

1. Click the gear icon in the Gmail interface.
2. Click the Settings button in the menu that opens.
   
3. On the settings page, go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
4. Press the Add a forwarding address button.
   
5. In the next window, please enter the address to which you want to forward mail.
   
6. Press the Next button.
7. A confirmation window will be displayed, click the Proceed button.
8. Next, Gmail will send a confirmation email to the forwarding address, confirming that you agree to receive emails from the source mailbox. Open your forwarding (old) email inbox and find the confirmation letter from Google.
9. Click the confirmation link from the email.
10. Click the Confirm button.
11. Now return to our new mailbox. Refresh the forwarding settings page.
12. Check that our connected (old) mailbox is now present in Forwarding: dropdown.
13. Select the option Forward a copy of incoming mail to... field (default is "Disable forwarding").
14. Define how to process the mail in your old mailbox while forwarding.
    
15. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

Congratulations! Your emails will now be redirected to your new mailbox.
