Instead of Forward Email

Forward Email alternatives

Forward Email combines custom-domain forwarding with paid email hosting and encrypted mailbox storage. Its free plan forwards incoming mail but cannot send messages or store them on Forward Email servers; paid plans start at $3/month. The service also offers native apps for desktop and mobile, a web app, and protocols including IMAP, POP3, CalDAV, and CardDAV. Its plans add options such as API access, team permissions, and pooled storage, while self-hosted Docker email is also available.

A different service may suit you if you only need forwarding, want finer routing, need webhook delivery, or prefer to operate a mail stack yourself. When comparing, decide whether you need a hosted mailbox or simply delivery to an inbox you already use, and whether sending as your domain matters. Also consider alias rules, message retention, integrations, platforms, and support: these alternatives vary from no-storage forwarding to centralized webmail, and from free services to paid plans.
