Forward TWU GMail (email) to another email address

While it is possible to forward TWU GMail to another email account, it is not recommended. TWU GMail messages are more likely to arrive in the inbox, rather than spam. Smart phones allow for multiple email accounts, and there is a GMail app that can act as a mobile email client.

10. In the Gmail account, reload the page in the web browser.
