Forward only some emails

If you only want to forward certain kinds of messages to another account, use filters to forward messages that meet specific criteria. For example, a parent could automatically forward emails from their child’s school to the other parent. Learn more about filters.

Forward to multiple accounts

bMail can only auto-forward all of your mail to one email address at a time. You can see what address bMail is currently forwarding to in the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab of Settings.

To forward emails to multiple accounts, you can use filters to forward specific types of messages to each account. You can create up to 20 filters that forward to other addresses. Learn more about filtering for multiple accounts.
