Forwarding Chinook Mail to Gmail - Revisited

Just one follow-up to our previous instruction on mail forwarding.  There is a potential disaster lurking here if you ever encounter a snag with your Gmail password.  Asking Gmail to send you your forgotten or mistyped password will fire that email off to your secondary email address.  If that's one of the addresses you've now configured to forward to Gmail, the email will immediately be shipped on to Gmail, which you can't access because you forgot your password, thus creating a futility loop.

There are a couple of possible solutions to this:

• Maintain an address which is not forwarded to Gmail and configure this as  your secondary email within Gmail.
• Always remember how to turn off forwarding in your secondary account and do this before you request your password from Gmail.

Just a thought.  I didn't want anyone blasting me because they locked themselves out of all their email accounts.
