Setting Up Email Forwarding Rules

Forwarding rules automatically redirect incoming emails — to another Kerabie address, a team member, or an external address.

Plan limits: Free (0 rules), Pro (10 rules), Premium (unlimited).


Creating a forwarding rule

  1. Go to Settings → Forwarding.
  2. Click Add rule.
  3. Configure the rule:
    • Forward all mail — every incoming email is forwarded
    • Forward from sender — only forward from a specific email address
    • Forward to — the destination address
  4. Optionally: keep a copy in the original inbox (enabled by default).
  5. Click Save.
