Email Forwarding

Setting Up an Email Forward to Another Account

Maybe you just have an email you expect to receive messages on but don't want to bother logging into, replying from or sending messages from (technically you can still send as this account, but at that point I'd recommend just setting up a regular account). In that case, consider setting up a forward account. This will simply take any messages sent to a specific address and forward them to an existing account of your choosing.

It should be noted that you cannot setup a forward for an existing email account. If you want to forward mail for an existing email account, you will need to delete that account first and then perform the steps below to setup the forward.

To setup an email account forward simply take the following steps:

1. Log into your account on the WA platform.
2. Navigate to Websites > Site Manager (you can also select Site Domains, Site Feedback or Site Support).

   

3. Click on Site Email from the options at the top of the page that loads. You can also get here and skip the above steps by following this link: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/email
4. Click on the New Email Forward tab.
5. Enter the first part of the new email account you want to create (the part before the @ symbol).
6. Select the domain name you want to create the email account at from the choose a domain drop-down menu.
7. Type the full email address of the account you wish to forward email to in the forward to field.

   

8. Click Create.

Congratulations, the forward has now been setup! Send a test message to confirm proper delivery.

Here's a video I created to show you the steps in action:
