QQ Mail Auto Forwarding Guide | Generated by AI
Question: Why can’t I find the “Auto Forwarding” option in QQ Mail, and how do I enable automatic forwarding to Gmail?
Answer:
You’re not wrong — the reason you can’t find “Auto Forwarding (自动转发)” is that:
👉 In newer versions of QQ Mail, this option is often hidden, moved, or only visible in the web desktop version (not mobile / simplified UI).
🔍 Where “Auto Forwarding” actually is (exact location)
You need to use desktop web version, not app.
Steps (important details):
- Open: https://mail.qq.com
- Login
- Click Settings (设置) — top right
- Click “General (常规)” tab (NOT Accounts)
👉 Now scroll WAY DOWN (this is key)
You are looking for:
邮件自动转发 / 自动转发 (Mail Auto Forwarding)
✔ It is NOT inside POP3/IMAP section ✔ It is usually near:
- Spam settings
- Auto reply
Then:
- Enable (启用)
- Enter your Gmail
- Verify
- Save
📌 This feature exists but is easy to miss because it’s far down the page (bkqs.com.cn)
⚠️ Why you currently don’t see it
Based on what you pasted:
“POP3/IMAP/SMTP/Exchange/CardDAV 服务(已开启)”
This means you are inside:
👉 “Accounts (账户)” tab
❌ That tab only shows:
- POP3 / IMAP
- SMTP
- Authorization codes
👉 It does NOT contain forwarding
🚫 Important reality (this is the catch)
In recent years, Tencent sometimes:
- Removes or hides auto-forwarding for some accounts
- Restricts it due to spam/security
-
Only shows it for:
- older accounts
- certain regions
- desktop full UI
👉 So if you still don’t see it after scrolling, then:
👉 Your account likely does NOT have this feature enabled
✅ Best workaround (what actually works reliably)
Use Gmail to fetch instead:
Use Gmail POP3 fetch
Since you already enabled:
POP3/IMAP/SMTP ✔
You can do this:
In Gmail:
- Settings
- Accounts & Import
- Add mail account
-
Use:
- server:
pop.qq.com - port: 995
- SSL: yes
- password: QQ authorization code
- server:
👉 Result:
- Gmail pulls your QQ mail automatically
- Not instant, but works 100%
🧠 Practical recommendation
- If you find auto-forwarding → use it (best, real-time)
- If you can’t find it → don’t waste time → just use POP3 fetch
Because:
👉 Many people simply don’t have forwarding anymore
⚡ Quick diagnosis for you
Based on your screenshot text:
✔ POP3 enabled ❌ Forwarding missing
👉 Conclusion:
Your QQ Mail likely does NOT expose auto-forwarding → use Gmail fetch
If you want, I can guide you step-by-step to:
- make Gmail send as QQ (so you fully replace QQ Mail)
- or build a near “real-time” sync workaround
