Setting Outgoing Emails to Forward via a Second Email Account

Do you ever wish you could have all your emails from different accounts in one place? Well, you're in luck! In this article, we will show you how to set up your outgoing emails to forward via a second email account. This way, you can manage all your emails from one central location.

Before we begin, make sure you have access to both the email accounts you want to link. You will need the login information for both accounts.

Step 1: Accessing Email Settings

The first step is to access the email settings of your primary email account, the one you want to forward emails from. The location of these settings may vary depending on the email provider you use, but generally, you can find them by clicking on your account name or profile picture, then selecting "Settings" or "Account Settings."

Step 2: Enabling Email Forwarding

Once you're in the email settings, look for an option called "Forwarding" or "Forwarding and POP/IMAP." Click on this option to access the forwarding settings.

Within the forwarding settings, you should see an option to enable email forwarding. Check the box or toggle the switch to enable forwarding.

Step 3: Adding the Second Email Account

After enabling forwarding, you will need to provide the email address of the second account where you want your outgoing emails to be forwarded.

Look for a field labeled "Forward To" or "Destination Email." Enter the email address of your second account in this field.

Some email providers may also offer additional options for forwarding, such as choosing to keep a copy of forwarded emails in your primary account. You can explore these options based on your preferences.

Step 4: Verifying the Second Account

In order to ensure that you have access to the second email account, some email providers may require you to verify the ownership of that account. This is done to prevent unauthorized access to your emails.

Check your second email account for a verification email from the primary account. Follow the instructions in the email to complete the verification process. Once verified, you should start receiving forwarded emails in your second account.

Step 5: Testing the Forwarding

It's always a good idea to test the forwarding to make sure everything is working as expected. Send a test email from your primary account to any other email address, and check if it gets forwarded to your second account.

If the test email doesn't arrive in your second account, double-check the forwarding settings in your primary account and ensure that the second account's email address was entered correctly.

That's it! You have successfully set up your outgoing emails to forward via a second email account. Now you can manage all your emails from one central location.
