: Email Forwarding Server We have a ton of websites on multiple different webhosts. The way we have our email setup is we forward all of our email to gmail accounts (e.g. name@domain.com > whatever@gmail.com)

If you want to avoid forwarding and use Gmail directly as your mail host with your own address, you need to change your MX records. The MX records tell your "old" host where to send your email.

Here's a how-to by Google: support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=33352&ctx=cb&src=cb&cbid=-hs9fd6sbkd5e&cbrank=2
Note that you can only send your emails to Google in this manner if you have Google Apps (I have done some research on this and have failed to find evidence to the contrary). You need to pay for Google Apps, though some webhosts like Weebly offer it for free for one website (about 40$ a year for ten users).

If you want to avoid sending your emails to your spam box, you can


either configure Google to get the emails by POP3 (you can do that in your Gmail settings) or
add your other email addresses to your contacts. Whoever sends you an email and is in your contacts, will not be sent to spam
