How to set up email forwarding
Forward emails from Gmail or Outlook to Tramovio to activate Transition Mode. Both inboxes receive every email simultaneously.
What forwarding does
Email forwarding sends a copy of every incoming email from your old inbox to Tramovio. Your old address keeps working normally — nothing changes for people emailing you. This is the core of Tramovio's Transition Mode: both inboxes receive every message simultaneously, so you can't miss anything during the switch.
- 1
Find your Tramovio email address
Log into Tramovio and note your full email address (e.g. yourname@tramovio.eu). You'll add this as the forwarding destination in your old account.
- 2
Open forwarding settings in your old provider
Gmail: Settings → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP → Add a forwarding address. Outlook: Settings → View all Outlook settings → Mail → Forwarding.
- 3
Add your Tramovio address as forwarding destination
Enter your Tramovio email address. Your old provider will send a verification email to Tramovio to confirm the forwarding address.
- 4
Confirm the verification email in Tramovio
Check your Tramovio inbox for the verification email from Gmail or Outlook. Click the confirmation link to activate forwarding.
- 5
Enable forwarding and choose copy settings
In Gmail: select "Forward a copy of incoming mail to [Tramovio address]" and choose "Keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox". This keeps both inboxes active during Transition Mode.
Provider-specific notes
Gmail
- Gmail limits forwarding to one address at a time on free accounts.
- Use "Keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox" to keep both inboxes active.
- Google Workspace accounts: admins can set forwarding policy restrictions.
Outlook.com
- Outlook forwards all mail including from newsletters and mailing lists.
- Enable "Keep a copy of forwarded messages" to retain messages in Outlook.
- Outlook may add an "external email" banner — this is normal.
Other providers (IMAP)
- If your provider doesn't support native forwarding, use a mail filter rule.
- Most cPanel / webmail providers have a "Forwarders" option in settings.
Forwarding set up in 10 minutes.
Transition Mode starts the moment forwarding is active.
