How do I set up email forwarding?
-
I have read through the support page instructions on setting up an email forwarding address. However, I can’t actually find it in my WP Admin. Under Settings the only thing I found was something called ‘Email Post Changes’. I don’t see any button called ‘Add New Email Forward’.
What I want is to create a new email address, ‘(email visible only to moderators and staff)’ and have any messages sent to this address forwarded automatically to my primary address, ‘(email visible only to moderators and staff)’.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
You need to be in your domain settings to add email forwarding. Here’s a link to that:

And here’s our guide for setting this up:

Let me know if you have any more questions!

It says that WordPress.com Email Forwarding is not available for this domain and lists the email servers as ‘mailstore1.secureserver.net’ and ‘smtp.secureserver.net’. I don’t know what either of these are. I originally registered the domain with GoDaddy. Do I need to contact them? What do I need to do for WordPress email forwarding to work for me?

Alright. If you head into the “Edit DNS” pane, you’ll need to click on the trash can next to the two lines labeled MX. Then save your changes.
When you head back to the “Email” pane, you’ll be able to set up forwarding.
