Have you found a way to automatically forward them to one Gmail? If so, could you tell me how you are doing it?

You just set it up in the account settings - takes 60 seconds each time :)

Is it safe to forward all stealth emails to one central email folder on an iOS device?

Re: Gmail is not blocking paypal images...
 

Yep that’s fine

You can block the images and beacons if you want though

If you reply to messages it needs to be from the original email address though

apple mail auto blocks them too I believe.

Whenever I add a new gmail to my phone, it auto blocks everything

It doesn't for me SaiJin. It used to block the images but all the images appear now so I deleted all my email accounts from my iPhone and I manually check them through the browser.

I also have the same issue, sometimes it does not work and images are downloaded. Then again I don't recall every having any problems because of it

That's good to hear you haven't had any problems. I had six accounts suspended last week over a period of two days and I'm wondering if they were suspend because the images were downloading while checking each email account.

Images loading from their server aren't the only way they can put tracking beacons in emails.

Could you offer any further insight on other ways they can put tracking beacons?

Any frame or script within the email loading from Paypal.

Does the same concept apply to eBay images?

Re: Gmail is not blocking paypal images...
 

eBay, PayPal, anyone at all :)

Yes. Like James said, it applies across the board because it's how the internet works. Your info is logged on a server any time you load anything from that server.
