Quick-tip

Yes, I know it’s a long title but well that’s exactly what I am going to write about. First of all, Merry Christmas to all my readers and my apologies for no new posts for 4 days. It was in these holidays that I really needed to forward some of beautiful greetings that I received from my friends to my family members. I thought there should be a way to forward specific mails to a different email address in Gmail. It didn’t took me a while to figure it out. Here’s the small trick so you don’t have to goof around:

Gmail: Auto forward specific emails to a different email address

» Login to your Gmail account and click ‘Settings’ on the top-right.

» Click ‘Filters’ tab > ‘Create a new filter’ (located bottom-center).

» Now choose the criteria for which you wish to forward an incoming mail to  different email address. Here the permutations and combinations are many. Fill in your desired criteria and click ‘Next Step »’ button.

» Here, check the ‘Forward it to:’ option and click ‘Create Filter’.

There you are! Obviously this filter won’t forward older emails falling into the criteria you specified.
