Forward all new email to another account

  1. Open the Gmail account that you want to forward from.
  2. Click the gear in the top right.



  3. Select Settings.
  4. Select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.



  5. Click Add a forwarding address in the “Forwarding” section.
  6. Enter the email address you want to forward to.
  7. For your security, we'll send a verification email to that address. Open your other email account and find the confirmation message from the Gmail team. If you’re having trouble finding it, check your Spam folder.
  8. Click the verification link in that email.
  9. Back in your Gmail account, reload the page in your web browser - look for the reload icon 
  10. On the same Forwarding and POP/IMAP page in Settings, check that Forward a copy of incoming mail is selected and your email address is in the drop-down menu.
  11. In the second drop-down menu, choose what you want Gmail to do with your messages after they’re forwarded, such as keep Gmail’s copy in the Inbox (recommended) or archive Gmail’s copy.
  12. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

 

NOTE:

If you are an employee and have a gmail mailbox and an exchange mailbox: your GoogleApps account will become username@rowan.edu - this will cause you to be unable to auto-forward to your exchange mailbox since Google thinks it is the same address. You should set up the forward using username@studentsrowan.mail.onmicrosoft.com

from within Gmail to forward to your exchange mailbox.
