How to Forward an Email in Gmail

Send a received Gmail message to another recipient.

Quick Answer

Open the message, choose Forward, enter the recipient, review the content, and send.

Step by Step

  1. Open the relevant email account or application.
  2. Open the message, choose Forward, enter the recipient, review the content, and send.
  3. Review the result carefully before making any permanent deletion, forwarding, or account change.
  4. Confirm the change worked from the mailbox or settings page.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Menu names can differ between web, desktop, mobile, classic, and newer versions of an email application.
  • For business or managed accounts, administrator policies can restrict some settings.
