- Click on the gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner.
- Select “See all settings” from the drop-down menu.
2. Find the Forwarding and POP/IMAP settings:

3. Add the forwarding address:
- In the “Forwarding” section, click “Add a forwarding address.”
- Enter the email address of Account B (the receiver) where you want emails forwarded.
- Click “Next.”
4. Verify the forwarding address:
- A confirmation email will be sent to Account B.
- Log in to Account B and open the confirmation email.
- Click the verification link in the email.
5. Enable forwarding in Account A:
- Go back to the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” settings in Account A.
- Select the radio button next to “Forward a copy of incoming mail to.”
- Choose the email address you added in step 3 from the drop-down menu.
- Decide what to do with the original emails in Account A:
- Choose “Keep Gmail’s copy” to keep a backup in your inbox.
- Choose “Delete Gmail’s copy” to automatically delete them.
- Scroll down and click “Save Changes.”
6. Set the default “From” address in Account B (Optional):
- Log in to Account B.
- Click the gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner.
- Select “See all settings” from the drop-down menu.
- Click on the “Accounts and Import” tab.
- In the “Send mail as” section, set your preferred default account.
- Under “When replying to a message,” choose “Always reply from the default address” if you want replies to automatically use Account A’s email address.
Remember:
- Always click “Save Changes” after making adjustments.
- Setting the default “From” address in Account B is optional but lets you reply to emails as if they came from Account A.
Now all emails sent to Account A will be forwarded to Account B!
