In Gmail, is Automatic Forwarding completely safe, or does it allow other things like allowing the target account to reply using the original address?

In Gmail, is Automatic Forwarding completely safe, or, does it allow the target account to which the emails are forwarded, to send a reply somehow using the original recipient account's email address, and, are there any other dangers ?

  • For Example - 'Account-One'( A Gmail Account ), receives an email, and because Automatic Forwarding for all email is set On, it is forwarded to 'Account-Two'( A Gmail Account ) which then replies to it ( to the very original sender of the email ), and, the very original sender of the email receives the reply which shows that the reply has been sent from 'Account-One'( A Gmail Account ) .

  • I feel very stupid posting this question, but after some years of occasional searching on the internet, I cannot confirm that the obvious answer would be no.

  • Could there be any other unknown dangers from setting Automatic-Forwarding On from a Gmail account to another Gmail account, or from a Gmail account to a Non Gmail account ?

  • The reason I would want to do this, is because I have a primary Gmail account ('Account-One'), which I only use from a SIM card, and I also have a secondary Gmail account('Account-Two') which I use from a very very public WIFI network, so there is a greater chance of 'Account-Two' being hacked .
