How to Forward Multiple Emails at Once in Gmail

Gmail is probably the best email client. Not many could argue against it. Apart from handling its basic functionality of sending emails quite efficiently and in a secure manner, it also comes with tons of Gmail’s extra features like sending and requesting payments via Gmail. You may even take the help of various Gmail add-ons or try sending emails in Confidentiality mode. But in spite of all this, it fails to provide one of the most basic yet important features. There is no option of forwarding multiple emails at once to a particular user in Gmail.

However, after digging up the internet, I was able to get my hands on a very interesting Chrome extension that is very much capable of forwarding multiple emails via Gmail. The process is quite short and easy. You don’t have to enable POP or IMAP Forwarding feature in Gmail. But it does have it’s a fair share of downsides.

Most important among those is regarding security and privacy settings. While installing this extension in Chrome, it requires you to grant it permission to view, edit and modify your emails. So proceed with caution. Even then if you wish to go ahead, then make sure not to use your official email ID. With that said, let’s begin the tutorial on how to forward multiple emails via Gmail.

   • Forward selected emails in one email: A much better approach. All the selected emails will be sent as a single email. But each mail will be segregated quite neatly.
   • Forward selected emails in one email as EML attachments: It creates individual .eml files for each of your emails. The same could be viewed by the recipient in his or her Chrome browser.
