Setting Up Email Forwarding For Your Domain 

Email forwarding is a feature that automatically redirects emails sent from one email address to another specified address. For example, if you have multiple email addresses such as [email protected] and [email protected], you can forward all incoming emails to a single address like [email protected]. This makes it easier to manage your communications from one central inbox.

It is an invaluable tool for anyone managing multiple email addresses, allowing you to consolidate your communications, ensuring you never miss important messages and enhancing privacy by protecting your email using forwarding addresses.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up email forwarding for your domain.
