Permanent email forwarding

Create email aliases you can disable anytime for ongoing communication

First verify your real inbox, then create separate aliases for shopping, subscriptions, or communities. If an address is exposed, pause only that entry without changing your primary email.

1

Verify your destination email

The verification code is sent only to the email you enter, confirming that you’re authorized to receive forwarded messages.

2

Enter the email verification code

Open the email you just received and enter the short-lived verification code. We’ll never ask for your email password.

3

If two-step verification is enabled

After email verification succeeds, enter the code shown in your authenticator app. Users without two-step verification will skip this step automatically.

Codes stay valid for 10 minutes. Never share your verification code or authenticator secret with anyone.

Signed in — your aliases and forwarding archive are live below.

Alias management

Use a recognizable prefix for each site, without including personal information.

No aliases yet

After logging in above, create your first forwarding address for a specific service. New aliases deliver messages to your verified email.

Two-step verification

Step 1: click Enable and scan the QR code with your authenticator; Step 2: save the secret key; Step 3: enter the authenticator code to confirm. Two-step verification will not turn on until setup is confirmed.

Setup hasn’t started yet. The QR code and secret key will appear only after you log in and click the button above.

Forwarding activity from the past 30 days

Use this log to confirm delivery status and investigate unusual sources. It should not be your only archive for important email.

No forwarding activity yet

After you create an alias and receive email, the sender, subject, and status will appear here. Attachments should still be saved in your destination inbox.

Usage boundaries

Forwarding supports ongoing communication—it isn’t an anonymous mailbox

One alias per site

Identify the source of suspicious messages and pause that alias separately when you change the account email.

Keep important accounts on your primary email

Financial, medical, government, and work accounts need the most reliable recovery options and should not depend on a forwarding chain.

Keep checking for phishing

An alias hides your real address, but it doesn’t automatically make external links, attachments, or impersonation emails safe.
