This guide will show you how to add and manage recipients in ExpressMailGuard.
Recipients are your real email addresses where emails can be forwarded to. You must verify each recipient before you can forward emails to it.
When you first sign in to ExpressMailGuard using your ExpressVPN account credentials, the email address you provide is automatically assigned as your default recipient email address. You can then add additional recipient email addresses at any time, and even update your account’s default recipient email address to one of these other recipients.
