Switch to Easy Email Forwarding (formerly GetMail) — What’s New

Easy Email Forwarding (formerly GetMail) — Secure, Simple Email Forwarding

Easy Email Forwarding (formerly GetMail) is a lightweight service that forwards incoming email from a custom domain to your existing inbox — without hosting mailboxes or storing messages long-term. It’s designed for simplicity, privacy, and reliability for people who want to receive mail at their domain while using an existing email provider.

Key features

• Simple forwarding: Receive email sent to user@yourdomain and deliver it to your existing email address (e.g., Gmail, ProtonMail) with minimal setup.
• No hosted mailboxes: The service does not store mail long-term or provide IMAP/POP access; it only forwards messages.
• Privacy-focused: Forwards messages without tying them to hosted mailboxes; built to minimize stored metadata.
• Custom domain support: Works with domains you own — configure MX records and optional SPF/DKIM settings.
• Spam filtering & rules: Built-in basic spam protection with options to create forwarding rules or blocklists.
• Deliverability tools: Support for DKIM signing, SPF guidance, and DMARC compatibility to improve deliverability to providers like Gmail.
• Aliases & catch-alls: Create multiple aliases (e.g., contact@, jobs@) and optional catch-all forwarding for a domain.
• Simple web dashboard: Manage aliases, view logs of recent forwards, and update destination addresses.
• Lightweight logs: Short-term logs for troubleshooting delivery; not intended as long-term storage.

Typical use cases

• Use your custom domain for a personal or business email address while keeping your existing mailbox.
• Create short-lived or disposable aliases for sign-ups, newsletters, and testing.
• Consolidate multiple domain emails into a single inbox.
• Maintain privacy by avoiding a hosted mailbox provider.

Setup overview (summary)

1. Add your domain to the Easy Email Forwarding dashboard.
2. Update your domain’s MX records as instructed.
3. (Optional) Add SPF/DKIM records for better delivery.
4. Create aliases and point each to a destination email.
5. Test by sending mail to an alias and confirming delivery.

Pros & cons

• Pros: Fast setup, privacy-oriented, low maintenance, supports aliases and catch-alls, improves deliverability with DKIM/SPF.
• Cons: No hosted mailboxes or IMAP access, limited storage/history, may require DNS changes and some technical steps.

Security & privacy notes

• Forwards mail rather than hosting it; verify destination mailbox security separately.
• Use strong, unique passwords and 2FA on your destination inbox.
• Consider using per-service aliases to track where messages originate.
