How To Forward Zoho Mail To Gmail?

Zoho and Gmail are both popular email services among users. They have been in the market for some time now and have also introduced their new and updated versions. Some of you could be using your Zoho accounts as your primary mail accounts, while others might be using it only when needed on some important work. If you are an active user of Zoho mail services, then you must know how it works. There are not many users who want to switch over to another service such as Gmail. To help such users I would like to provide some information, so that they will not get confused while forwarding Zoho mail to Gmail account.

Zoho Mail stands as one reliable, cheap & secure way of getting your business email. Easy setup with simple management comes for the free tier. However, a recent upgrade in its policy may doom the new users for its use.

One particular benefit comes with the mail forwarding facility. But many Zoho users find it difficult to initiate the forwarding program. With step-by-step guidance, you can indeed brace yourself to activate the process.

You can enable creating a copy of every incoming email to another account. After setting up the company mail, you should immediately proceed with its forwarding. It lets you receive all the incoming emails directly in your Gmail inbox.

2. Click on the ‘Filters’ tag to open & select the ‘New Filters’ option.

Important Facts to Remember

There are different rules to notice with the upgraded Zoho policy. You’ll have to know the essential points before getting into action.

1. Email forwarding service is no longer available for POP accounts.
2. Filtered forwarding is not available for an already added Gmail account.
3. Consecutive ten failures in forwarding make the service-disabled.
4. No looping occurs over already forwarded mail upon its receiving.

Number of Mail Forwarding Gmail Address
