General Tips

Start with a few senders — set up forwarding for your most important subscriptions first, then add more over time.

Test with a manual forward — before setting up auto-forwarding, try manually forwarding one subscription email to verify it works.

Use domain-level filters — instead of exact email addresses, filter by domain (e.g., netflix.com) to catch all emails from a service.

Keep originals — forwarding creates a copy; your original emails stay in your inbox untouched.

Check your exclusion list — if a forwarded email isn't being detected, make sure the sender isn't on your exclusion list in Settings.
