Combining incoming correspondence significantly optimizes the user's work, due to the absence of the need to check each email box several times a day, which takes a lot of time. The implementation of this task is feasible in practice, however, the procedure differs slightly in the implementation process, depending on the type of Internet mail portal being operated. In this article we will explain how to set up mail forwarding, having considered the most popular options for electronic portals: mail, Gmail and Yandex.

Specificity of mail forwarding with Gmail

However, there are situations when forwarding from the Gmail mailbox correspondence to another address is necessary, due to corporate requirements at work, or due to other, subjective circumstances. Portal resources provide such opportunities, and allow you to redirect both the entire amount of incoming correspondence to the addressee, and forward part of the incoming mail relevant to the user. To automatically redirect all e-mail to another, active address portal, you must perform the following simple manipulations:

  1. In the open "mailer" you need to go to the "Settings" section, where you will need to activate the tab called "Forwarding and POP / IMAP".
  2. In the window that opens, activate the item "Add a forwarding address" by clicking on the caption with the right mouse button.

  5. For the changes to take effect, you must click on the "Confirm" button and refresh the Gmail page by pressing the corresponding button in the form of a circular arrow on the top panel of the mail.

The performed operation will start the process: the system will automatically send all letters to the address specified by the user. If it is necessary to send only selected correspondence to the specified mailbox, additionally install a filter, according to which the system will “select” the letter parameters corresponding to the listed recipient. To do this, click on the triangle in the search box on Gmail, specify the characteristics by which the system should select the correspondence necessary for redirection, select the "Forward to address" column, where the actual box should be noted and confirm the manipulations by pressing the "Create filter" directive. After this operation, only those notifications that meet the requirements specified by the addressee will be reoriented to the active domain.
