How to forward all e-mails to two e-mail addresses from Gmail.

Gmail e-mail forwarding is a best option to keep backup of all important conversations. But it allows only one e-mail address one time to follow mails to. What if you want to forward emails to two email addresses?

Here are few steps to follow.

First create an e-mail forwarding for all mail to one e-mail address

• Sign in to your Gmail account and go to "Settings" from the top of Gmail page.
• Now go to "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
• In the forwarding menu enter the email address to which you'd like your messages forwarded.
• From the drop down menu choose to keep Gmail's copy of the message in your inbox, or you can automatically Archive it by sending it to All Mail. (I will prefer you not to automatically send mails to Trash)
• Now click Save Changes.

Now as you want to set another e-mail address for all your incoming mail to be forwarded at. Follow the steps below.

• Click on "Create Filter" link next to the Search the Web button at the top Gmail.
• In the field of "To" enter your Gmail e-mail address and click next.
• In the actions select “Forward to” and enter the “second e-mail address” in text box where you want your e-mails to be forwarded.
• Click "Create Filter".


Now all mails which will be coming to your e-mail address will be automatically forwarded to both accounts.

Note: There is a drawback of this method. The mails which are not sent to you but to a mailing list or a Blank Corbin Copy (BCC) for you will not be forwarded to second e-mail address. However ALL MAIL will be forwarded to first account by default auto forwarding.

I hope this will help you in managing you mail.
