The word "forwarding" is typed into the search box and the forwarding option has a red box outlined.


3. In the right-hand panel, the forwarding settings options will open. Select the Start forwarding button, enter your personal email address (such as mtiger@gmail.com), check the box next to Keep a copy of forwarded messages (optional but recommended), and click Save.

Forwarding page with "start forwarding" and "keep a copy of forwarded messages" with red outline.
