Email forwarding is when an email is sent to an email address and is then automatically forwarded on to another email address. There are two types of email forwarding:

Individual email forwarding: This lets you create an email address that will forward emails on to a different email address or mailbox.

Catch-all forwarding: These emails will only forward if there isn’t an existing mailbox or forward in place. Catch-all refers to a mailbox on a domain that will 'catch all' of the emails addressed to the domain that do not exist in the mail server. Configuring a catch-all address can help avoid losing emails due to misspellings on your email addresses.
