To forward multiple emails in Gmail, you have several options depending on your needs and device:

Forward Multiple Emails as Attachments (Desktop)

  1. Open Gmail on your computer.
  2. Select the checkboxes next to each email you want to forward.
  3. Click the three vertical dots (More) in the toolbar above your inbox.
  4. Choose Forward as attachment.
  5. Enter the recipient's email address (you can add multiple addresses).
  6. Click Send.

This method forwards the selected emails as attached .eml files, preserving the original emails' content and metadata

Using a Chrome Extension: Multiple Email Forward for Gmail

  • Install the "Multiple Email Forward for Gmail" extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Select the emails you want to forward.
  • Click the forward icon added by the extension.
  • Enter the recipient's email address.
  • Click Forward Emails.

This tool allows you to forward many emails at once conveniently and safely without waiting for the process to finish in your browser

Forwarding Multiple Emails on Android

  • The Gmail app for Android does not support forwarding multiple emails at once.
  • To do this on Android, open Gmail in a web browser (e.g., Chrome).
  • Switch to the desktop version of Gmail.
  • Then follow the desktop steps to select and forward emails as attachments

Forwarding to Multiple Addresses Automatically

If you want to forward incoming emails automatically to multiple addresses:

  • Go to Gmail Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
  • Add and verify each forwarding address.
  • Disable default forwarding.
  • Create filters with criteria (e.g., "deliveredto:[email protected]").
  • Set each filter to forward emails to a different address.

This workaround enables forwarding to multiple addresses using filters since Gmail only allows one forwarding address by default

Summary

  • To forward multiple existing emails at once, use Forward as attachment on desktop or a Chrome extension like Multiple Email Forward for Gmail.
  • On mobile, use the desktop Gmail site in a browser to forward multiple emails.
  • For automatic forwarding to multiple addresses, set up forwarding addresses and filters in Gmail settings.

This approach covers manual and automated forwarding of multiple emails efficiently in Gmail
