How to Auto Forward iCloud Email to Gmail on iPhone

Auto-forward all Mail from iCloud to your Primary email address. iCloud Mail features are really awesome. One of them is bypassing all mail coming to your iCloud ID to a Targeted email Address (like Gmail, Yahoo, Bing, Outlook, or Top-Level Domain Email).

Very useful features for users who have a number of Email Addresses and want faster access or notification on incoming mail to iCloud Mail. So the user can instantly take action on mail. On the other end, iCloud has a total of 5GB of limited free space, but you can manage it easily by forwarding all iCloud Mail to Gmail or other third-party Email addresses. After that, it will be deleted automatically from the iCloud account.
