Information Technology » FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions » How do I forward my Google Apps email to another email account?

Mailbox forwarding allows you to forward all e-mail that reaches your conference mailbox to another e-mail address.  This is useful when you are managing several accounts in one system.  Follow these steps to set up forwarding in your new Google Apps account:

  1. Log into your Google Apps mailbox..
  2. In the right hand corner of the e-mail page click the blue gear icon next to your name.  If you do not see a blue gear then click the “Settings” link.
  3. If you clicked on the blue gear, select “Mail Settings”.
  4. Click the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” link.
  5. Select the “Forward” radio button and enter the e-mail address to which your e-mail should be forwarded.
  6. If you are forwarding your e-mail to an account you access through a webpage, open a new browser for the next step.  Otherwise, open your e-mail program.
  7. You should receive an e-mail at the address you entered in the step 5. with “NCCUMC Team” in the subject.  This e-mail has a verification link that you need to click on to allow the forwarding.  Make sure you click on the correct link, as there is more than one link in the e-mail.  After clicking on the verification link in the email should get a success confirmation message.
  8. Go back to the first web browser opened to the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab of your account settings. In the forwarding section, click on the “Verify” button.
  9. Change the drop down menu from “keep a copy in the Inbox” to “delete the copy”.
  10. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the “Save Changes” button.
