Next Chapter: Apps mail and your email software


If you prefer, you can have Apps mail forward all the mail coming into your school Apps mail account to another email address. This can be useful if you maintain several email accounts and want to choose one where all your mail is delivered. You can also have the option to choose whether copies of your message will stay in your Apps Mail account or be deleted.

To have mail automatically sent to another email address you can set-up Forwarding in the Apps mail settings:


  1. Click Settings at the top of any Apps mail page, and open the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
  2. Enter the email address to which you'd like your messages forwarded.
  3. Select the action you'd like your messages to take from the drop-down menu. You can choose to keep Apps Mail's copy of the message in your inbox, or you can send it automatically to All Mail or Trash.
  4. Click Save Changes.


Please note: The filter for forwarding messages to other email addresses doesn't work retroacively for messages you've already received in your inbox (i.e. the 'Apply filter to # conversations below' won't work for filter action).
