We start by logging in and within the configuration section to which we enter through the link located at the top of the site, we choose «setting»And we will see the configuration interface of our account, for this case we select the tab «Forwarding and POP / IMAP mail», We will find on the page several configuration options, we focus on the first option where we can disable this option or enable it, being able to directly choose the email address that we use as the main one and the folder where we want a copy of each message to be stored. we receive.
But as I said above, Gmail also offers us the possibility of configuring the forwarding of messages from our account in Gmail to other email addresses that may be from accounts we have in services such as Yahoo Mail or Outlook, for this we choose the link «add a forwarding address«Next, a window will open where we will enter the chosen address and click on«siguiente»After doing this a confirmation code will be sent right to the email inbox that we have specified so that you receive copies of our messages.
To correctly finish the message forwarding configuration in Gmail, the code that we receive in the other email account must be entered in the field of check. With this we will have already confirmed that the address is correct and the messages will begin to be sent to that address apart from the ones that by default we already receive in our Gmail inbox. There is another option through which we can create filters In other words, forwarding messages only from certain contacts, in general it is the same process but completing an additional form where we will specify the type of messages that we will filter to be forwarded.
