Set up a forwarding email account
You can set up an email address solely for the purpose of forwarding messages to other mailboxes. No email gets stored at the forwarding address that you set up; all email gets immediately directed to the destination email address.
Warning: If you want to use an email address that you've already set up with email as your forwarding account, you'll need to delete that address, and then follow these instructions.
If you don't want to delete the address, you can set up forwarding copies of incoming emails, to another inbox.
If you don't want to delete the address, you can set up forwarding copies of incoming emails, to another inbox.

Next step
- Once your forwarding address is set up you need to make sure your MX Records for that domain are correct. You can check your MX records in your Workspace account.
- If your MX records are not correct in the above step, copy the MX records displayed in your Workspace account, and use those details to add an MX record to your domain (or edit an existing MX record, if you have one).
