Referring to my directions, do you now see a Forward rule of the following form in your account with the correct Gmail email address?
  • All messages
    Send a copy to ....
Also, when you are in the Rules screen, do you see the following message above the 1.Discard section at the top (below the + New Rule button)?

You also have custom rules defined in sieve code. Edit custom sieve code.
The most likely causes for the forwarding rule to not work would be:
  • The forwarded messages are being filtered by Gmail in some way, so are not visible in the view you normally use due to some tag or other action. You can test this by changing the forwarding address to a folder (not Inbox) at your Fastmail account, using myaccount+archive@fastmail.com (or whatever domain you use) and seeing if the rule forwards to that folder.
  • You have custom sieve code which is being executed before the forwarding rule and includes a stop command.
