If you use multiple email applications then you may require to transfer emails between various apps. In that context, let me explain to you the steps you need to follow to forward Outlook emails to Gmail. You can forward the emails to your account and you may also forward an email to another person such as your Gmail contact.
If you don’t want to forward your emails from Outlook to Gmail, you can go for that as well. Then you have to disable the exception that you have set for the original email on Outlook. I have explained how to do that. It’s very simple. That exception is set to forward only selected emails and not every email on Outlook.

If you don’t want to get bothered by emails from certain senders like marketing emails or newsletters, then you can set a filter for that. Any email such parties will not be getting forwarded from Outlook to your Gmail. You can set any particular key phrase and see t it as a parameter. So, an email consisting of that key phrase will not be forwarded.
- You can even customize your exception by naming it. This helps in finding it out if you have set multiple exceptions.
