Frequently Asked Questions
Will forwarded newsletters still appear in Gmail?
Yes. Gmail forwarding creates a copy. The original email stays in your Gmail inbox unless you add a 'Skip Inbox' action to your filter.
Does this work with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)?
Yes. Google Workspace accounts have the same forwarding and filter features as regular Gmail accounts.
Can I forward newsletters from Outlook instead of Gmail?
Yes. Outlook has similar forwarding rules. Create a rule that forwards emails from newsletter senders to your InboxToKindle address.
Is there a delay when forwarding through Gmail?
Gmail forwarding is nearly instant. You should see newsletters on your Kindle within a few minutes of them arriving in Gmail.
