Also, keep in mind:
- Forwarding all incoming mail may not be suitable for all situations, as it can lead to email overload on the receiving end.
- If you're using Gmail's built-in forwarding feature, it may not work with all email providers or services.
- If you're experiencing issues with forwarding, you may want to check with your email provider or IT department for assistance.
