Email forwarding is useful for sharing information with colleagues, transferring attachments, and receiving messages from an old email address in a new inbox. Before forwarding, check the recipients and remove any sensitive information they shouldn’t receive.<\/p>
Which email forwarding method should you use?<\/h2>
You can forward emails manually or automatically, depending on whether you want to share a specific message or redirect future emails to another inbox.<\/p>
- \n
- Manual forwarding:<\/strong> Send an individual email to another recipient. This works best for sharing messages, attachments, or conversations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Automatic forwarding:<\/strong> Redirect new incoming emails to another email address without forwarding each message yourself. This is useful when managing multiple inboxes or switching email accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Filter-based forwarding:<\/strong> Automatically forward only emails that meet specific conditions, such as messages from a particular sender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
