Forwarding multiple emails.

[robert bracewell]

I am new to gmail and need help. I want to forward multiple emails to a single person or possibly two people.  How do I do it?

Thanks, Robert

Its not possible via the web interface.

That is both true and not true.

The web interface can't AUTOMATICALLY forward emails to multiple people, but it is most certainly able to forward an email to multiple people once you have it open.  Robert, if you have an email that you would like to forward, all you have to do is open the email and click the Forward link on the bottom of the message.  From there, just start typing the name or email address of the contact(s) you would like to send it to and GMail will suggest people based on what you type.

I think the question was if is it possible to forward multiple emails to a single person, your solution is for forwarding one email to multiple people.

Before we can answer this, we need to understand what you are trying to do.

Are you forwarding emails you already have in your mailbox, or do you wish
to forward all new incoming emails as they arrive?

Give us a range for "multiple" emails. 2? 2000?

As far as I know, Gmail's web interface doesn't let you select multiple
emails and forward them all at once; you need to forward them one at a time;
unless they are in the same 'conversation.'

Gmail's web interface has ways to automatically forward new incoming emails
to one person, but I don't think it can do more than one recipient this way
(unless you create something like a Googlegroup or Yahoogroup or other email
list and handle them that way ... good for newsletter distribution lists).

You can manually forward individual messages (or conversations) to one or
multiple people. Start by opening the message, then click "Forward" (near
the bottom) or "Forward all" (on the right) and fill in their addresses.

If you run an email client program on your PC and use IMAP or POP to access
your Gmail, some of these email client programs let you do the kinds of
things you want to do. Examples of email programs are Thunderbird, Outlook,
and Outlook Express.

I found this thread because I need to do the same.
I have several emails I would like to forward as one set of
attachments to another person.

In the gmail interface there are checkboxes to select more than one
email in the search result view or where-ever.
When checking multiple email (threads) there are buttons and a drop
down with "more actions" none of the buttons or the drop down offers
a "forward" action
One has to open each "thread" to find a forward option.

I see another issue.

I have a conversation where there are attachments to each part.
When I click "forward all" only one attachment is attached.

You are correct, and while some may see this as a shortcoming, I disagree.

As a frequent receiver of these types of forwards you're talking about
at work, I can tell you it's extremely frustrating to sort the whole
thing out. It's so much clearer when the relevant parts of said
forwards are summarized in a single message.

I'm new. What are Threads and what is the gmail interface?
Thanks.

Threads, or Conversations, are related email messages that are grouped
together. Gmail recognizes emails with the same or very similar subject
lines and assumes they are replies to one another, so it keeps them together
so you can see all of them in the same window instead of having to pop back
and forth between different messages.

The "Gmail interface" is what you see when you login to Gmail (www.gmail.com
or mail.google.com). It is the way things are laid out on your screen
within your web browser's window, and the way their menus and buttons work
(not the browser's menus and buttons, but Gmail's menus and buttons).

Hope this helps.
