My Gmail inbox space was almost completely used last week. I needed to delete mails to free up space but didn’t have much time. So what I did was made a new gmail account and forwarded all my incoming mails to the new account. This saves me from the trouble of telling every other person about my new email address. Everyone can email at my old address and I will recieve them at my new address.

Here’s how I set it up:

Gmail Mail Forwarding settings

1. Go to your Gmail account and click on Settings on top-right corner.

2. Click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab. You can see it in the picture.

3. Select Forward a copy of incoming mail…

4. Type your new Gmail email address  in ‘email address’ box. ( If you haven’t made it, logout, make a new account and redo the steps).

5. Select “Delete Gmail’s copy” from the drop down list.

6. Save the settings. The “Save” button is at the bottom of the Gmail’s page. (Not shown in picture).

These are all the steps required. Simple, isn’t it. Now, I get all my mails in my new account.

Any comments are welcome.
