How to automatically forward emails in Outlook and Gmail

Whether you need to forward selected emails to another address or forward all of your emails to another inbox, both Outlook and Gmail have easy-to-set-and-forget methods for automating the process.

How to automatically forward emails in Outlook

To automatically forward an email in Outlook, you'll need to create a rule:

1. Open Outlook and in the Home tab, click the arrow below Rules> Manage rules and alerts.
2. Click New rule.
3. Under Start from a blank ruler , select Apply the rule on the messages I receive , and click Next .
4. Select the criteria for the types of messages you want to forward. If you want to forward all emails, leave these selections blank. Click Next .
5. In step 1, select Forward to people or public group. (or if you prefer, Forward to people or public group as an attachment). In Step 2, click the link for people or public group .
6. Enter the email addresses of the contacts you want to forward the email to.
7. Select the criteria (if any) for the emails you want to exclude from this rule.
8. Enter a name for your rule, make sure to Turn this rule on checked and click Finish.

Emails sent this way will appear the same as any other forward, with the exception of the subject line.

To stop forwarding emails, simply return to Home tab, click Rules> Manage rules and alerts and uncheck the box next to the rule you want to disable.

How to automatically forward emails in Gmail

To automatically forward emails in Gmail, it's a similar process, with one key difference. With Outlook, you don't have to get someone's permission to automatically forward emails. In Gmail, on the other hand, if you want to add an email as a forwarding address, they have to give you permission.

So the first step to forwarding emails automatically is to add those forwarding addresses:

1. Go to Gmail settings and open the tab Forwarding and POP / IMAP.
2. At the top of the page under the Forwarding subheading, click Add a forwarding address .
3. In the pop-up window, enter the email address you want to forward emails to. (You can only enter one email address at a time) and click Next .
4. Your contact will receive an email with a link they need to click to give you permission to send emails.

Now it's time to configure the filter to automatically forward emails:

1. Go to Gmail settings and open the Filters and blocked addresses tab.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Create a new filter .
3. Enter the criteria for the emails you want to forward. If you want to forward all of your emails, simply enter your email address in the To field and click Create Filter .
4. Seleccionar Reenviarlo a :y en el menú desplegable, seleccione la dirección a la que desea reenviar los correos electrónicos y haga clic en Crear filtro.

Para detener el reenvío de correos electrónicos, vuelva a Ajustes> Filtros y direcciones bloqueadas y haga clic en eliminar junto a la regla de la que desea deshacerse.
