This is the message I keep getting. Please tell me what I am doing wrong!
Oops! You already have a webmail inbox for agray@mysecondcupcoffee.com. You cannot have both a forward and a webmail inbox. To create a forward you need to first delete the webmail inbox for agray@mysecondcupcoffee.com by clicking 'delete' in your list of accounts below.
I am trying to forward agray@mysecondcup.com to grayabusiness@gmail.com

It looks like you've set up an actual mailbox. If that's the case, and you want to forward your mail instead, you have to delete the mailbox and just set up the forward.

Your lesson was easy to follow. But I believe I must have missed a step. Because I sent an email to the new account but got the message that they could not deliver the message because they could not find the address. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

It's either complaining about the address you sent to or the address you're forwarding to. Go back to the forward setup and verify you have the addresses correct.
