One of the features that I like about Yahoo is the fact that when choosing to forward mail, you can choose to include even the emails that go to the Junk folder. This is especially useful since it means that I can forward all incoming email to my Gmail account without ever having to check for false positives.

When forwarding in Gmail you cannot do this directly through the settings interface. However, there is a workaround. To allow Gmail to forward ALL incoming email you need to set up a filter that includes ALL email regardless of the folder it is in.

Set up a filter with the “Has the words” field containing the following text:

In:all

This should include all email regardless whether or not it has gone to the Spam folder or not. The next set of filter options should contain an option to forward any email that meets this filter, to another email address. Put in the account you wish to forward your email to and you’re done.
