Gmail (Google e-mail) may block messages from e-mail forwarders or mark them as spam. This article describes an alternative way you can use Gmail to access messages from another account.

Problem

You set up an e-mail forwarder that forwards messages from one of your Mochahost e-mail accounts to Gmail. However, Gmail blocks the message or puts it in the spam folder.
📘 Note Here is another scenario where e-mail forwarders appear to fail: However, this behavior is by design to prevent possible email loops.

Resolution

If you experience problems with forwarded messages not reaching Gmail, there is an alternative solution. You can configure a Gmail account to access another e-mail account directly. In this configuration, you do not set up an e-mail forwarder; instead, you access messages in the other account using your Gmail inbox. For step-by-step instructions on how to set up this configuration in Gmail, go to Setting up Gmail to access your Mochahost e-mail account.
