How To Automatically Forward Emails

March 14, 2019 by Freya

How To Automatically Forward Emails

If you have multiple email address then this tutorial about how to automatically forward your emails will be particularly useful.

I know what its like to save an inconvenient number of email addresses. One for university, one for my part time job and my personal email address. In order to make sure I never miss one, I have them all forwarded to a single account. As a result, as soon as I receive an email in any of my accounts, they are sent to my personal email address as well so that I can see them on my phone, all in one place.

Its so convenient and if you want to do the same (which I recommend,) then read on.
