- You can also forward emails from a specific sender or recipient by using the "From" or "To" criteria in the filter settings.
- If you want to forward emails from a specific domain (e.g., @example.com), you can use the "Has the words" criteria in the filter settings.
- You can also use third-party email clients or apps to forward emails from Gmail. For example, you can use Sanebox or Boomerang to forward emails from Gmail.
Important Notes:
- When you forward emails from Gmail, the original email will still be stored in your Gmail account.
- Forwarding emails may not work if the recipient's email server is not configured to accept forwarded emails.
- Be cautious when forwarding sensitive or confidential information, as it may not be secure.
