How to set up email forwarding so emails go to another address automatically

Email forwarding sends a copy of every incoming email to another address automatically. You set it up in your email settings. In Gmail it's under Forwarding and POP/IMAP, in Outlook it's under Mail → Forwarding. You'll need to confirm the forwarding address before it starts working.

Email forwarding automatically sends a copy of your incoming emails to another address. This is useful when you're switching email providers, want to check multiple accounts in one place, or need to share emails with someone else. Setting it up takes a few minutes and works the same way in most email providers. You enter the forwarding address, confirm it, and turn it on.
