Sep 02, 2025

Sending a message using Microsoft Outlook is not limited to Outlook users only. In fact, you can exchange or auto-forward multiple emails from Microsoft Outlook to Gmail in just a few simple steps.

How to Forward Emails from Microsoft Outlook to Gmail

If you both have MS Outlook and Google Mail accounts, set up your message inbox to automatic forwarding wherein your messages would redirect to your other email account. You surely won’t miss any important mail from either Outlook or Gmail account after you do these steps:

• Step 1: Access Outlook’s Settings

  Head to the official Outlook website and sign in to Microsoft Outlook. Expect to provide your Microsoft Office account details to log in and access Outlook. Once you are signed in, select “Settings” or the gear icon on the home page. Then, click “View all Outlook settings.”

  

• Step 2: Enable Forwarding

  Under Outlook’s settings, go to “Mail” and select “Forwarding.” So that you can auto-forward emails to another account, mark the checkbox beside “Enable forwarding.” And the next time you might change your mind about forwarding emails to another account, simply uncheck that box.

• Step 3: Type Your Gmail Address

  There is a text box below “Enable forwarding” and that is the space where you type your Gmail address. So once forwarding is enabled, it is through that email address that you get such messages. Be sure the Gmail address you inputted is legally yours to prevent getting wrong. You can also check the box beside “Keep a copy of forwarded messages” to store your own copies of emails in your Outlook account. Finally, click “Save” to apply the changes.

• Step 4: Forward from Outlook to Gmail with Message Rules

  Another option is to set message rules for emails from Outlook to Gmail. Go back to Outlook’s “Settings,” “View all Outlook settings,” and “Mail.” But this time, click “Rules” followed by “Add a new rule.”

• Step 5: Complete the Rule Setup

  Go to “Add an action” and choose “Forward to” from the dropdown arrow. From there, input your Gmail address and click “Save.” For more options, you may also add an exception or make an condition. From now on, your Outlook emails will be redirected to Google Mail in no time.
