Mail provides you the option to automatically forward all the incoming emails to another email account of your choice. This is the simplest way to automatically receive a copy of the emails that arrive in your account in another account of your choice.

 You can also auto forward the emails based on specific criteria. You can choose Filter based Forwarding for such requirement. 

 If your Organization is Email Hosting with Mail, the Administrator can enable Auto Email Forwarding from one account to another internal account without any verification process involved. 

Enable Email Forwarding:

1. Log in to mail
2. Click Settings » Mail » Email Forwarding and POP/IMAP
3. In the Email forwarding Section, Click 'Add Email Address'
4. Specify the email address to which you want to forward a copy of your email
5. A confirmation Email will be sent to the added email address. Email forwarding will be enabled only after you verify the account.
6. You can choose whether you want to remove the email from account after forwarding or retain the copy .

• Select 'No' for ‘Delete  mails copy’, to leave a copy of the forwarded email in mail.
• Select 'Yes' for ‘Delete  mails copy’, to delete the email in mail, after forwarding to the specified email address.

1. If you have chosen 'Delete  Mail's copy', for Email Forwarding, the emails will be deleted immediately and will not be available for POP retrieval.

Points to remember for Email Forwarding:

5. Provide the password of the 'source account' from which the emails should be forwarded. 
6. In case you have Two Factor Authentication enabled for the source account, you need to provide application specific password to be authenticated. 
7. The credentials will be verified with the source email account credentials.
8. On successful verification, Email forwarding will be enabled and emails will get auto forwarded.
