Gmail (Google e-mail) may block messages from e-mail forwarders or mark them as spam. This article describes an alternative way you can use Gmail to access messages from another account.
You set up an e-mail forwarder in cPanel that forwards messages from an e-mail account to Gmail. However, Gmail blocks the message or puts it in the spam folder.
Here is another scenario where e-mail forwarders appear to fail:
However, this behavior is by design to prevent possible email loops.
If you experience problems with forwarded messages not reaching Gmail, there is an alternative solution. You can configure a Gmail account to access another e-mail account directly. In this configuration, you do not set up an e-mail forwarder; instead, you access messages in the other account using your Gmail inbox.
For step-by-step instructions on how to set up this configuration in Gmail, please see this article.
