Rob should i put email address in the txt file?
Does it remove hire from user or contacts

RobSampson

It will be user login names in the file, and it will affect user accounts only.

The forwarding address will remain, it's just the "deliver message to both forwarding address and mailbox" option that is removed.

Rob.
