# 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.
