Need clarification, if I combine my official email and personal email I'd and if my official gmail I'd is terminated will this still work and keeps forwarding the msgs to the second one. Pl lemme know. Expecting your reply ASAP.

    Very helpful Scott, thank you! I think I would choose to delete the emails from the account I am forwarding from, just because all the emails will pile up, and accumulate in All Mail, I assume. If I truly want to "forget" it's there I think it's sensible to use that feature. Think of a private email that you would want to delete, then you would indeed have to go into that secondary email to delete it there too, right? (I am a person that likes to clean up my All Mail anyway, might as well do it in one inbox like everything else). Edit: Don't choose the delete option until you are all set up!! ha. And don't forget to add this new one to Mac mail if you use it. Just because it is forwarded to your first gmail doesn't mean it functions properly (especially for the 'from' option to show up) in Mac mail. All done now! Yippee!!

One question, can i use POP3 instead of Forwarding between Gmails and what's the difference between both ? Thanks.

    Yes, you certainly can. Here's how to make such a filter: 1. In the search box, search for messages sent to your email address (i.e. to:example@domain.com). 2. Then select the small arrow on the right side of the search box - this will display the advanced search menu. 3. Select 'Create filter with this search' 4. Select 'apply a label'. I hope that helps.

In other words, there are 2 different emails both with the exact same address and oddly, I discovered that an email I sent from the account I primarily, was answered at the 2nd account with the same address, leading me to wonder if there’s a lot of emails I didn’t actually see because went to my 2 personality. Is this weird? Thanks, Amy

Is there a way to transfer all my new emails to a new account even when my old account is deleted? Does that make sense? Like, if I'm getting emails from New York Times one my old account that soon will be deleted, how do I get transfer them to my new account? Do I just need to go to each website from where I am receiving emails and change my emails addresses manually?? Hope there is an easier way! :') Thank you!

I find myself clicking erase in the primary but then my forwarding account still has all the spam, old emails I do not want any longer.
