Privacy by default
Forwarded mail is processed in memory and never written to disk. Each mailbox is its own encrypted SQLite file that only your password can open. Cure53 has audited our code twice, and its report is public. What we store, and for how long

Built for developers
Everything the dashboard does is an API call. Send with one request, receive as JSON webhooks, and script the rest. Our webmail and apps use the same API. Read the API reference

Unlimited sending
Unlimited outbound email, earned by reputation.
Send with SMTP or the API on any paid plan from $3/mo. New senders start at 300 messages per day (900 on the Team plan), and the daily threshold grows as you keep paying and send clean mail. According to Gmail's sender guidelines, senders should keep their spam rate under 0.1%. We use a similar limit: a day when large mailbox providers reject mail to 0.1% or more of your recipients as spam or viruses can lower your threshold one step.

Testimonials
Why do people switch to Forward Email?
Customers give three reasons: privacy built into the architecture, a migration that takes a few DNS changes, and one inbox for every address. Each quote links to proof you can check. Cure53 spent 25 days auditing our code, our infrastructure and Nodemailer, with four senior testers and full access to the source, according to its report.
Private by architecture
Congrats for fully launching Forward Email – a forwarding service for email that doesn't keep logs or store emails, and which works with ARC to ensure signed forwards don't trip email filters 👏. I'm a happy user! ❤️
Migration is a DNS change
Have now switched email forwarding from MailGun to ForwardEmail.net . Simple and painless (and free!). Just some DNS changes, and it just works. Thanks
One inbox for every address
So they made this cool app that forwards email from your own domain to your Gmail inbox. There is even a catch all option, so sales@, support@, etc all goes to your own inbox. Check it out! It's free! forwardemail.net
Time to Inbox
Time to Inbox
We measure these delivery times with our own open-source monitor. It sends test emails to inboxes at major email providers and records how long each one takes to arrive. Our engineers get an alert when a delivery takes longer than 10 seconds. Source code is available on GitHub.
