Why Do I Need To Forward iCloud Emails?
When you need to respond to a conversation with someone over electronic communication, you typically press “reply.” However, replying to a message keeps the conversation with the original party. It doesn’t start a new thread with someone else. That’s where forwarding comes in — it lets you share the previous conversation with a new person without continuing the original conversation or cluttering the original message thread.
There are a variety of instances when forwarding iCloud email can be helpful. Sometimes, you need to share information with another person who may not need to respond to the original conversation. Other times, you may need to save a link or an attachment to a different device. In both instances (and others), iCloud email forwarding can be very helpful.

Now that you know about iCloud email forwarding, it’s time to learn how to organize iCloud emails. Whether you are forwarding messages to another account or using your iCloud account as your primary form of electronic communication, Clean Email can help you organize messages and maintain a clean inbox.
Clean Email isn’t an email forwarding service, which means it cannot forward messages to another account. However, the app has nearly a dozen unique tools and features that help you remove clutter, organize messages, and keep unwanted messages out of your mailbox.
For example, the Unsubscriber feature removes you from newsletters or marketing messages you don’t want to receive. You can also choose to pause certain subscriptions or place messages from certain domains in a dedicated Read Later folder, all from the Clean Email app.
Similarly, the new Screener feature keeps potentially malicious messages from unknown senders out of your inbox by placing them in a specific folder to quarantine them.
Furthermore, the Smart Folders feature helps organize messages that share commonalities by placing them into bundles you can pull up, much like a filtered inbox.
Similarly, you can use the Favorites tool to apply your own criteria to sort messages and make shortcuts so you can easily access your favorite filtered views.
Clean Email offers these features and much more, all while handling your data very carefully. We take your privacy very seriously. That’s why your data is encrypted.
