Using the API

Forward an existing address

If your domain is not verified for receiving emails you have two options. You can either enable receiving for your domain with an MX record or set up forwarding. The Dashboard makes these options available to you. If you are using the API and you can’t add an MX record for the domain, set forwarding to true when creating the inbox. Resend provisions a receiving address for the inbox. Retrieve the inbox to read its receiving_address, then forward your existing mailbox to that address. Forwarded emails arrive in the inbox as threads.
Forwarding is useful when your domain’s MX records already point at another mail provider and you don’t want to change them.
