Forwarding+to+Other+Email+Accounts

Be the Change email accounts are provided by Google Applications so they are essentially GMAIL accounts with the standard GMAIL settings for setting forwarding addresses and filters to process incoming mail.

Many of our generic BTC email accounts are set up so they can forward emails to different people depending on the content of the email - this uses 2 features in settings: forwarding addresses and filters. You will need the username and password to access the email account or ask someone who has the details to do this for you.


 * Step 1**
 * Log into the account
 * Click Settings (gear wheel symbol top right)
 * Select Forwarding and POP / IMAP from the tabs across the top
 * Click 'Add a forwarding address'
 * Enter the email address to be forwarded to and next
 * Confirm by either clicking the link in the confirmation email OR by entering the code from the confirmation email
 * DO NOT set the forwarding here to your address unless you want ALL emails to come to you - otherwsie leave it disabled here and use Step 2 below to use a filter for the forwarding


 * Step 2**
 * Click Settings
 * Select Filters
 * In the 'Has Words' box, add text to identify emails you want forwarded (doesn't have to be a full match to a subject - you may need to experiment)
 * Click Continue
 * Apply the instructions you want e.g.
 * Skip The inbox
 * Apply a label
 * Forward to your addess (you should be able to select it from a dropdown list if Step 1 has been completed) \
 * Select Update Filter
 * Send a test email to make sure the filter works and adjust as neccessary


 * Note:**

With GMAIL you can foward all emails from the Fowarding and POP / IMAP without using a filter but only to one address - if you want all emails to go to multiple addresses then set up a filter for each address with no specific search details.
