# Forwarding your mailbox
The easiest way to set up Keeping is to login to your shared mailbox [with "Sign in with Google"](/help/setup/connecting-a-mailbox/sign-in-with-google.md). As an alternative, you can manually forward your support mailbox to Keeping.
:hand\_splayed:If you are using a [Google Group](/help/setup/connecting-a-mailbox/connect-a-google-group.md) or [Gmail Alias](/help/setup/connecting-a-mailbox/connect-a-gmail-alias.md), see our specific help articles.

**Good to know:** If you've previously connected a mailbox via "Sign in with Google", you'll need to [disconnect it ](/help/setup/connecting-a-mailbox/disconnecting-a-mailbox.md)before you can set up forwarding.

## Enable Forwarding and Test (Important!)
Almost there! After you have confirmed forwarding, **you need to go back to the Gmail account for your support emails** (eg support@ or help@), and return back to the settings for **Forwarding and POP/IMAP** and **enable the forwarding.**
### Go to your Gmail Settings in your support mailbox
Log back into the account that currently receives your support email (or, you may still be logged in). Return back to the settings.
### Go to the Forwarding & POP/IMAP tab
As with before, return to the Forwarding & POP/IMAP tab. **This time, choose the setting next to your Keeping email address and** click "Forward a copy of incoming mail to.."
Don't forget to click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the page!
## Send a Test
Back in the Keeping settings, send a test email to confirm you have everything wired up correctly. You should receive a test email in your work account, inside the Keeping tab.
