This is a very difficult task for all bloggers to login to one gmail account and then log out and login to another account. This can waste your precious time, because every gmail account is associated with your important activity and you have to check all accounts for new mails. But there is no need to worry about this, because there is a super duper solution for this problem. You can merge all gmail accounts with one gmail account.
It means that if you are using 5 gmail accounts and you want to receive all emails in one gmail account. Then you can forward all emails from gmail 1, gmail 2, gmail 3 and gmail 4 to your gmail 5 account. Then there is need to login to all accounts, because you can receive all mails in your gmal 5 account. This is very useful for those who are using multiple gmail accounts.
How to Automatically Forward Mails from One Gmail to Another Gmail Account
1. Login to your Primary Gmail account (Primary means where you want to receive mails from other gmail accounts.)
2. Click on “Setting” button located at the top right side of your account.
3. Select “Accounts and Import” button and then click on “Send mail from another address”.
4. Now you will see another window. Where you have to enter the email address of your 2nd gmail account.
Enter your 2nd emails address in the “Email Address” box and click on “Next Step” button.

12. Click on “Setting” and then select “Forwarding and POP/IMAP”. Now you will see another box. Just select “Forward a copy of incoming mail to” and type your primary email address. Now click on “Save Changes” (You can see the below screen shot for more help)

This is all fine and dandy, except that your real email address is visible in the header, regardless of what you use to send with.
Jhon@ Thank you so much for informing me.
Updated.
Thanks for Sharing this article.
Thanks for simple tip and I used it for quite a long time and it works well
I am using it for for quite a long time.. most people think that they cant get forward their mails between 2 gmail accounts..
It’s good tips. I am using it frequently in my account.
Thanks for sharing
Personally I think this is still a major problem with Gmail. If you have several addresses just like me you need to login and logout a numerous of times to check all of them.
But how do you prevent gmail from filtering spam before forwarding?
I really don’t want to log in to several gmail accounts just to check the spam folder.
It is very old, Do you know how to forward mails from yahoo?
its working super. will inform when come across any problems. thanks for sharing nice article
need to control & limit outgoing industrial secrets. How can we automatically forward sent mail to another gmail account?
thanks for the share. now i dont need to log into my 10 different accounts, i just check the one account and get all the messages.
This is a big help for us… is it possible to forward it to other account like yahoo?
Cool! Thank you for posting! I really need this. Although, I’m also looking for something like this for Yahoo! like forwarding Yahoo mail to Gmail? Thanks!
I have’nt try this yet. but as you mentioned and people remakes about it im sure its usefull. but here my question is this…. my gmail account is full and i have not recieving any new mails. the setup yu mentiond is for backup of new incomming mails. but what will be the possible way to forword all old mails to another gmail account?
Farhan@ Let me find the possible solution for your problem. Will share it when i find it.
Good time saving trick and very well explained tutorial.
when the G-mail forwards the messages, does it employ SSL?
Thanks for the advice. I am gonna try merging my gmail accounts and see if this works
Here’s my issue: I have set up Forwarding from accountB@gmail.com to appear in accountA@gmail.com. Any messages sent to accountB appear successfully in accountA, as you describe above. But when I click Reply, it says To: accountB – not to the sender of the email. How do I get it to reply automatically to the sender and not to the forwarding from address?
Petnard@ It will be great if you take a screen shot of what you want to achieve. I will then be able to provide the exact solution for your problem.
This does not work for me. I have a Gmail hosted college account, and a regular Gmail account. When I follow the steps above… some window comes up saying it can’t identify my college’s POP server. I called IT and they just told me to download Thunderbird or whatever. But I won’t do it unless I have to, out of stubbornness. The problem is too absurd to not have a simple rational answer.
Stuffinjuffin@ This is a very simple process, but you need to follow the process from the scratch. It works in all web browsers. Firefox and Chrome are the best one.
Hello All,
I am one of the developer team member, and would like to share a simple solution to transfer all mail from one gmail account to another gmail account without forwarding mail from an account.
There is a desktop application that lets you enable to do this task buy a few clicks . It is “Beyond Inbox”.
Follow the link to know about how to transfer mail http://www.beyondinbox.com/documentation/mail-backup–how-to-copy-move-emails-in-imap-account.html
This was great! I set up 10 accounts to filter and forward. The time investment to set it all up was well worth the convenience. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for the tips. There is just one thing that doesn’t make sense to me. When I create the filter for the emails coming in from a secondary email, shouldn’t I write the address of the secondary account in the “From” box? Otherwise, won’t it label every email that comes in, regardless of who sends it to me, as coming from the secondary address? I think that’s what it did so I changed it so that it has the secondary address in the “from” box, and the primary address in the “to” box. Another question I have though is how to forward all my previous messages from my secondary account to my primary account in just one step, rather than one by one, so that I can reply to them using the primary account as the sender so that people won’t continue threads on the old email address?
Mary@ Yes exactly you need to enter your 2ndary email address in the From Box. Thanks for the correction, i will review the post and again sort out if there is any other mistake.
Regarding the 2nd question, if you are planning to forward all the previous emails from a account to another account, you can use “Accounts and Import” menu to import emails and contacts from one to another email.
Thanks for the useful info. Great blog and thanks for the free template bro.. I will use your theme in my other blog. Thanks again.
Your article is good. In our office one notorious person has forwarded our gmail a/c without my permission to his another email id and started stealing the information. Can you please inform since when the mail of security code for any new autoforward was introduced by google since we were not aware as to when that person has kept maiforward?
Nitin@ I think this is beyond my knowledge. However you can ask in Gmail forum about this.
Thanks for this simple and easy step by step procedure to forward all e-mail messages from one gmail account to another. I have one question.
thanks for this article searching for it
