### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira.

## Documentation

### Domain Email Forwarding

Route email from custom domains to accessible inboxes. Essential for account recovery when the original email is on a domain you own but don't actively host email for.

### When to Use

Account recovery: target platform sent codes to user@yourdomain.com but email hosting is inactive
Catch-all: forward ALL email for a domain to one inbox
Cost savings: route domain email to Gmail without paying for email hosting
Temporary: just need to receive one verification code, then revert

### Decision Matrix

Registrar/DNSFree Forwarding?Setup TimeNotesGoDaddy✅ Built-in5 minRequires "Forwarding Status" toggle ONCloudflare✅ Email Routing10 minDNS must be on CloudflareNamecheap✅ Built-in5 minUp to 100 forwards freeImprovMX✅ Free tier15 minWorks with any registrar, MX record changeGoogle Workspace❌ Paid30 minOverkill for forwarding only

### If Email Account Already Exists (e.g., Email Essentials plan)

Log into GoDaddy → productivity.godaddy.com
Go to Admin → Email Forwarding (sidebar)
Find domain section → click edit (pencil icon) on existing rule
Change "Forward mail to" → your Gmail/accessible email
Click Save
CRITICAL: Click "Forwarding Status" button → select domain → verify toggle is ON

### If No Email Account Exists (domain-only forwarding)

Log into GoDaddy → account.godaddy.com/products
Find domain → Manage DNS
GoDaddy may offer free email forwarding without a full email plan
Go to Email Forwarding section → Add rule

### Gotchas

The per-user forwarding dialog (Manage → Forwarding) often gets stuck in a loading spinner. Use the admin-level forwarding page instead (/#/admin/email/forwarding)
Forwarding Status must be ON for external addresses — this is a separate toggle, not automatic
Changes take effect within 1-5 minutes (no DNS propagation needed since email account exists)

### Cloudflare Email Routing

Best option if your domain's DNS is already on Cloudflare.

### Setup

Cloudflare dashboard → select domain → Email Routing
Click Enable Email Routing
Cloudflare will add required MX and TXT records automatically
Create routing rule:

Custom address: user@yourdomain.com
Forward to: your@gmail.com


Cloudflare sends a verification email to the destination — click the link
Rule is active

### Catch-all

Enable "Catch-all" to forward ALL addresses at the domain to one inbox
Useful when you don't know the exact address that'll receive the code

### Gotchas

Requires DNS to be on Cloudflare (nameservers)
Destination email must be verified (click link in verification email)
If MX records conflict with existing email hosting, Cloudflare will warn

### Namecheap

Log into Namecheap → Domain List → select domain
Click "Email Forwarding" tab (or Manage → Mail Settings)
Select "Email Forwarding" from dropdown
Add rule: user → destination@gmail.com
Save

### Gotchas

Namecheap free forwarding handles up to 100 forwards
MX records are auto-configured when you select Email Forwarding

### ImprovMX (Any Registrar)

Works with any domain registrar. Free tier: 25 forwards/day.

### Setup

Go to improvmx.com → enter your domain
Add forwarding alias: user@yourdomain.com → destination@gmail.com
ImprovMX provides MX records to add at your registrar:
MX mx1.improvmx.com (priority 10)
MX mx2.improvmx.com (priority 20)


Add MX records at your registrar's DNS settings
Wait for DNS propagation (5 min - 48 hours, usually fast)

### Gotchas

Free tier: 25 emails/day, no sending (receive-only)
DNS propagation can delay first email by minutes to hours
Remove old MX records that conflict

### Verification Steps

After setting up forwarding, always verify before relying on it:

Send a test email from another account to user@yourdomain.com
Check destination inbox (and spam folder)
If test arrives → forwarding works → proceed with account recovery
If test doesn't arrive after 5 min:

Check Forwarding Status toggle (GoDaddy)
Check MX records are correct (dig MX yourdomain.com)
Check spam/junk folder at destination
Wait for DNS propagation if MX records were just changed

### Post-Recovery Cleanup

After recovering the target account:

Update the account's email to your primary email (Gmail) so you don't need forwarding again
Decide on forwarding: Keep it (useful for future emails to that domain) or revert to original settings
Document the account's email and login method for future reference
