Tips and considerations

• When you forward emails, the original email will still be in your Gmail account. If you want to delete the original email, you can set up a filter to delete it after forwarding.
• If you're forwarding emails to a non-Gmail account, you may need to check with the recipient's email provider to ensure that they can receive emails forwarded from Gmail.
• Forwarding emails can be a security risk if you're forwarding sensitive information. Make sure to only forward emails to trusted recipients.
• You can also use Gmail's "Send & Archive" feature to forward emails and automatically archive them in your Gmail account.
