This guide is perfect for professionals managing multiple email addresses, small business owners backing up correspondence, or anyone wanting to centralize their email flow.

In this video, you'll learn how to access Gmail settings, navigate to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, and add a forwarding address that requires verification via confirmation code sent to the destination inbox. This verification step ensures you have permission to forward to that address.
We cover the critical process of checking the secondary email account for Google's confirmation message and clicking the verification link to authorize forwarding. After refreshing your original settings page, you can select "Forward a copy of incoming mail to" your verified address.
You'll also learn to choose the handling option for original messages, with "keep Gmail's copy in the inbox" recommended for maintaining backups in both locations. Finally, we emphasize saving changes to activate the forwarding rule, with confirmation appearing at the top of your screen.
