Hi newbieweb,<br />
<br />
Also, keep in mind if you do create another email and setup forwarding make sure both email accounts have strong passwords and 2FA (if possible). The reason I say this is that forwarding accounts are often forgot about in terms of a security/vulnerability points and if/when you register for other services/websites using it then you can unintentionally open yourself up for attack. I have seen this many times. Users get owned because they registered everything to the forwarding account - they had a weak password &amp;&nbsp;2FA was disabled. The adversary then attacks the account and once compromised; stops forwarding unbeknownst to the user, then game over. Just don't forget the security of the forwarding account and you'll be fine!

Blocking email from GMail?

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

Google Workspace is a suite of cloud computing productivity and collaboration software tools and software. It includes Google’s popular web applications including Gmail, Drive, Hangouts, Calendar, and Docs. While these products are available to consumers free of charge, Google Workspace adds business-specific features such as custom email addresses at your domain and storage for documents and email.

Google Workspace

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.
