Per sender after you verify the forwarding address in Gmail once.
Resource section
Grab your private Memry forwarding address from Settings or the Auto-forward wizard. It looks like yourname@inbox.projectmemry.com and is unique to your household.
Resource section
Gmail requires you to add and verify the forwarding address once before any filter can forward to it.
Resource section
Once the destination is verified, create one Gmail filter per sender so only their messages forward.
Resource section
Outlook calls these 'Rules'. Open Settings → Mail → Rules → Add new rule. Set the condition to 'From' the sender or domain, and the action to 'Forward to' your Memry address. Save.
Resource section
iCloud Mail supports forwarding rules for messages that match your chosen criteria. In iCloud.com/mail, open Mail settings, choose Rules, and add a rule with a sender condition and Forward to your private Memry address.
Resource section
If forwards aren't arriving: check that the Gmail verification step completed, confirm your filter's 'From' pattern actually matches the sender's real address (school newsletters often come from a different domain), and check Memry's Inbox to see when your latest forward arrived.

FAQ
Only if you forward the entire mailbox. The recommended setup uses a filter per sender so only the messages that match get forwarded — everything else stays in your primary inbox.
Yes by default. Gmail keeps the original message and forwards a copy to Memry. You can choose to archive or delete Gmail's copy inside the same filter if you prefer a single source of truth.
Those portals all notify parents by email. Auto-forwarding from your Gmail captures ParentSquare, Seesaw, ClassDojo, Remind, and similar services automatically — there's no separate integration needed.
Gmail's filter setup is not available in the mobile app; use a browser (desktop or mobile) to open Gmail settings. Once the filter is saved, it applies to all devices.
