Private from what? Google sees the forwarded emails anyway.

    Yes, that's basically what I was getting at. So it sounds like as long as Google knows the account emails are being forwarded to (can see the headers) there is no notion of privacy.

    The way email forwarding works is: email is being received in full (by Google in your case), they look up processing rules, and send a copy to your Proton account, then optionally delete it.

    The only thing you protect yourself from this way is Google knowing your IP address every time you check email. They have seen the contents and all headers of forwarded messages.
