Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: "Forwarding isn’t working"

Solution:

  • Double-check that the filter is enabled and correctly set up.

  • Ensure the recipient’s email address is correct.

  • Verify that the inbox is not full (as full mailboxes may prevent forwarding).

Issue: "Auto-Responder emails are not being sent"

Solution:

  • Confirm that the auto-responder is enabled.

  • Check the start and end dates to ensure they are correct.

  • Some email providers may block automated replies—try sending a manual email to verify.

Issue: "I’m receiving duplicate emails"

Solution:

  • If forwarding is enabled while keeping a copy, you may see duplicate emails in your inbox. Adjust your settings if needed.


Your email forwarding and auto-responder should now be set up! If you experience any issues, please reach out for support.
