Top 5 Easy Steps to Automatically Forward Emails to Another Email Address
Automatically forwarding emails can save you time and ensure that important messages are delivered seamlessly to another email address. Whether you’re switching accounts or just want to keep all your correspondence in one place, this guide will walk you through the top five easy steps to set up email forwarding.
Step 1: Access Your Email Settings
The first step in setting up automatic email forwarding is to access your email settings. This can typically be found in the top right corner of your inbox where you’ll see a gear icon or ‘Settings’ option. Click on it, and look for ‘Forwarding’ or ‘Mail Settings’ section depending on your email provider.
Step 2: Add a Forwarding Address
Once you’re in the forwarding settings, you’ll need to add the email address where you’d like your emails forwarded. Enter the complete address carefully, as any typo could lead to missing important messages. After entering the address, make sure to confirm it if prompted by clicking on a verification link sent by your email provider.
Step 3: Choose Forwarding Options
Most email services offer options regarding how forwarded emails are managed. You may choose whether you want incoming emails to be kept in your original inbox or deleted once forwarded. Select whichever option fits your needs best—keeping a copy can be helpful for reference.
Step 4: Save Changes
After configuring your desired settings, make sure to click ‘Save’ or ‘Apply’ at the bottom of the page. This action activates the forwarding process so that all new incoming emails will now be redirected automatically according to your specifications.
Step 5: Test Your Setup
To ensure everything is working correctly, send a test email from another account (or ask a friend) and check both inboxes—the original and forward destination—to confirm that it has been successfully redirected without issues.
Setting up automatic email forwarding is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance how you manage communications across multiple accounts. Follow these five easy steps, and enjoy seamless access to all of your important emails from one central location.
