If you’ve got several email accounts (and many of us have), you could setup email forwarding. That way, emails from all your accounts will be automatically sent on to just the one account. One account, one inbox, one sign in.
For example, you could setup email forwarding in Gmail and have them sent on to Outlook.com. Or the other way around.
The point is that all your messages will arrive at just the one Inbox.
Forward Emails To Another Account.
When you’ve got more than one email account it can be a little tedious signing in & out of each in turn. But there are ways around it.
You could use an email client, such as Outlook for Windows. Once setup, these programs will log in to all your email accounts & download all your messages. They’re easy to use and you can view all your messages within the one program.
Alternatively, if you prefer to stay with webmail, you can have your various accounts forward emails to just the one account.
For example, you could have Gmail forward emails that it receives to your Outlook.com account. It’s much like leaving a forwarding address when you move home.
Usually setting up email forwarding isn’t difficult. Within your email account you’ll need to navigate to the settings area, then find the forwarding section, enable it and provide an email address where future messages should be forwarded to.
Below I’ll show you how to set it up for Gmail. Other email services will be similar.
How To Setup Email Forwarding In Gmail.
Most of us have a Google account, which in turn means that we have a Gmail email account. But not everyone uses it as their primary email account.
You can save yourself a little time and effort by setting up email forwarding in Gmail. It’s quite easy to do.
Log in to your Gmail account. Then click the Settings icon (the gear wheel) in the top right of the window.
On the menu that opens, click See All Settings.
On Gmail’s settings page, click the Forwarding & POP/IMAP tab.
Then click the Add A Forwarding Address button.
Forward Email To Another Account.
- Enter the email address that you want your Gmails forwarded to.
- You’ll see a confirmation window, click Proceed.
- Then Gmail will require you to click a link in the confirmation email sent to the forwarding address. Click OK.
Confirming Forwarding Email Address.
Now you’ll need to pop on over to the email account that you want to use to receive the forwarded messages from Gmail.
- Login to your account and find the email from the Gmail Team and click the link provided.
- That’ll open a browser window, click the Confirm button.
- Now you can go back to Gmail. You might find that nothing seems to have changed, reload the page.
- After reloading the page, you’ll see that you can now Enable Email Forwarding and enter an email address to forward your emails to.
Quick Note.
Be sure to add the exact same email address that you added earlier. Any change or mistype will throw everything out.
Summary.
Forwarding emails to another account is relatively easy to and could save you some time if you’ve got several accounts.
Setting it up with different email providers will be very similar to the example I’ve shown above.
