- Enter the recipient's email address (your Gmail address) in the "To" field.
- Add any additional recipients if needed.
- Write a brief message in the "Subject" field if you want to include a note.
- Click "Send" to forward the email.
Method 2: Forwarding from your email provider's web interface
- Log in to your email provider's web interface (e.g., Yahoo, Outlook.com, AOL).
- Find the email you want to forward and click on it.
- Look for a "Forward" or "Forward as" button and click on it.

Tips:
- Make sure you have a valid Gmail account and that you're using the correct email address.
- If you're forwarding emails from a work or school account, check with your IT department to ensure that forwarding is allowed.
- Be cautious when forwarding sensitive or confidential information, as it may be compromised during transmission.
- Consider setting up a filter or rule to automatically forward specific types of emails or messages to your Gmail account.
