How do i forward my mac mail to gmail

To forward your Mac Mail to Gmail, you'll need to set up a rule in Mac Mail to forward your emails to your Gmail account. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a Gmail account set up.
2. You have Mac Mail installed on your Mac.
3. You have a working internet connection.

Step 1: Set up a new rule in Mac Mail

1. Open Mac Mail and go to Mail > Preferences.
2. Click on Rules.
3. Click on the + button at the bottom left corner of the window.
4. Select Rule from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Configure the rule

1. In the Rule window, select Forward as the Perform the following actions option.
2. In the Forward field, enter your Gmail address (e.g., [your Gmail address]@gmail.com).
3. Make sure the Include field is set to All messages.
4. Click OK to save the rule.

Step 3: Test the rule

1. Send an email to your Mac Mail account from another email address.
2. Wait for the email to arrive in your Mac Mail inbox.
3. Check your Gmail account to see if the email has been forwarded successfully.

Tips and Variations:

• If you want to forward only specific emails (e.g., emails from a specific sender or with a specific subject), you can modify the Include field in Step 2.
• If you want to keep a copy of the forwarded email in your Mac Mail inbox, you can check the Keep a copy of the message on my Mac box in the Forward window.
• If you're using a Gmail account with 2-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, you may need to generate an App Password and use it in the Forward field instead of your regular Gmail password.

That's it! Your Mac Mail should now forward emails to your Gmail account.
