2. Email Forwarding card - Interface for all of the email forwarding options.
3. Destination address (To) - The full email address where emails are forwarded.
4. Edit button (pencil icon) - Click to modify an existing email forward’s destination address.
5. Delete button (trash can icon) - Click to remove an email forward permanently.

Email forwarding limits

Email forwarding is billed monthly on a per-domain basis. The number of forwarded messages and email forwards allowed per month is based on your plan. See the differences between plans.

Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) support

The email forwarding provider does not support International Domain Names (domains with non-standard characters). You cannot use an email address with an IDN domain as a destination or to configure email forwards for an IDN domain.
