Gmail is one of the most widely used web mail by people across the world. It certainly does provide amazing set of features that makes our digital life much easier. But if you had noticed it does lag some basic and useful features that most of its competitors seem to provide. For example you cannot sort your messages by date, sender, etc. You can see number of people requesting features like these on various official Google forums. Out of the many requested features in Gmail, forwarding multiple messages at the same time is one of the most demanded. Possible solutions that are currently available for this are creating filter and setting up auto forwarding in Gmail. Another option is to use desktop email clients. Some problem with these solutions are that not always you can create such a complex filter criteria to select required emails as your needs might change dynamically. Your desktop client might not be available across different devices. So, here is an alternate solution I came up which does not involve any third party apps. In this post we are going to see how to use Google Docs to help you forward multiple emails at once to many recipients. It works with text as well as HTML mails, even your attachments will be sent along with email body. Below are step by step instructions on how to set it up. It will just take few seconds before things are up and running.

May I recommend this page from Google: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/class_gmaillabel#getThreads

I set a Label var and then got the threads of that var using this technique to forward a bunch of emails to my publisher. I had to make the change in the document twice (line 22 & line 80) and it worked perfectly. I didnt make any changes to line 59 because I found it after the fact. Shunmugha, can you shed any light on what that line is for how not changing it would affect my results? Reply

21/02/2013 at 7:39 am
Its to ensure that no new email has received since you load the emails. In case there is mismatch it means new email has received. All, Michael Canejo has already shared the project Forward Multiple Gmail Emails by Label which you can make use of. Reply

Hi, Thanks for the script , it is amazing how you can get those emails forwarded easily. I did forward aroung 50 mails to another email ID and I also wanted to send all the remaining ones too. I have around 1024 emails to be forwarded as I am using google apps for my website as email UI and I am shifting my domain to another one, so the account will get disabled in few days. So please help me to get all the 1000 mails to be forwarded Thanks in advance

Loading & forwarding that many at a go would literally hang the script. Instead send them in 50 batches. Once forwarded first 50, deleted them or move to different folder. Again run the script it will fetch the next fifty. Similarly repeat. But if you want to tweak the code to load 1000 messages at once you are most welcome. Give it a try. Reply

As I had a user that wanted to forward about 80 emails which may have already been filed out of the Inbox I wondered about the best approach. I originally though of increasing the number of emails loaded. Then I thought there is a better way. Why not load the emails under a label instead of from the Inbox. If you make the following 3 code changes in the scrip: // LFS change to get emails from label Forward not Inbox // var threads = GmailApp.getInboxThreads(0, 100); var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(Forward); var threads = label.getThreads(); // LFS change to get emails from label Forward not Inbox // var threads = GmailApp.getInboxThreads(0, 1); var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(Forward); var threads = label.getThreads(0, 1); // LFS change to get emails from label Forward not Inbox // var threads = GmailApp.getInboxThreads(0, 50); var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(Forward); var threads = label.getThreads(); Then all you need to do is create a label called Forward, select the emails that you want to forward and label them. Then everything works exactly as before but instead of loading the last 50 conversations you get the ones that you have labeled. This also answers the requests for a selective email facility.

Hi Shunmugha and Les, Thanks for a great solution, I have another suggestion: If you replace the following three lines from Les suggestion: var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(Forward); with this one : var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(sheet.getRange(4,2).getValue()); Then you can load different label as per value in B4 cell. Also, if you put there a Inbox label (without quotes), the original functionality (loading last emails) will return. Den Reply

As an added bonus I have just done a test and it seems that you can enter more than one recipient address. I just tried with 2 addresses separating them with a comma (,) and they went to both. Both addresses appear in the To: field on the recipient email. Sorry for confusion about code snippet. Was showing that the call appeared in 3 places and you had to change all 3 not just the first one otherwise the emails that are forwarded are not the emails in the spread sheet. regards Les Reply

Shunmugha, that script/app is great! Reminds me of the kind of stuff I used to do in Excel (and Word) years ago. I like that it strips the email header and just gives the body of the messages, too. In this particular case, I was just trying to forward 4 emails in 1 (i.e., one new email containing all 4 that I wanted to forward) to my Evernote acct. It was so fun using your script, though, that I dont even care that they were kept separate! LOL Thanks, and take care. Reply

I used this to forward 2 emails. I changed both backgrounds for each email in green and then I forwarded them to myself to test it out. But I only got 1 email and not the other. What do I do? Thanks Reply

Hi, I am Manjunath from Bangalore, i am working on one project call Material management, here i have created a spreadsheet where the ground security staff will update all the fields as per the spreadsheet and there will be two mail IDs where one for receiver and other one for his HOD and finance team. For materials receiver the mail message body content will be different and for HOD and finance the mail message body content will be different. As soon as the ground security folks type the individuals mail id in the cell the auto mail should go to these mail ids. Can you help be on this or if you havent understand my requirement pls share your number i can call you and explain. Regards, Manjunath 9980304950 Reply

Worked exactly as described. Unfortunately, it doesnt give you a way to attach a message to the emails. It just sends them. I was forwarding error messages to a tech support group and needed to tell them why I was forwarding the messages. Reply

This solution looks like it will work but I wanted to add the reason I needed it to see if there was an easier method that someone was aware of. I had a user that well call Bob. Bob was in the Business dept and was a member of the BDC email group. Bob turned in his 2 weeks notice for resignation and so we hired a guy well call Tom. Tom started work a few days before Bob left and everything was going along fine until one day about a month later we realized that Tom was not getting emails sent to the BDC email group and discovered that he had never been added to that group. So we wanted to forward all emails that had been sent to that group to Tom so that he would have a copy of them as well. Unfortunately, there appears to be no recursive way of adding a user to a group so we figured that at least a simple forward all emails sent to this group between these two dates would work fine but it turns out that Gmail doesnt natively support that. Anyways, Ill give this method of yours a try and hopefully it solves this one time issue we ran into. Thanks! Reply
