Set up automatic forwarding 

You can automatically forward your messages to another address. You can choose to forward all new messages, or just certain ones.

Note: You can only set up forwarding on your computer, and not on the Gmail app.

Note: When your new messages are forwarded, messages from spam won't be included.
