  I have (email visible only to moderators and staff) (free w/ registered domain) set up to forward to (email visible only to moderators and staff) … I just sent myself two test emails and they did not come through.

  First Email subject line: Test
  Second Email Subject line: Test #2 (and in the body is the time that I sent it)

  When I set it up originally, I was getting a lot of emails from (email visible only to moderators and staff) , I only now reazlied it’s been a long time!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  HI there,

  When you sent the test email, was it from your “(email visible only to moderators and staff)” address?

  We’ve seen GMail automatically filter out similar test emails before, because it sees the message as an alias of itself.

  I just sent (email visible only to moderators and staff) an email from help@wordpress.com, with the subject line “Support for Email Forwarding” — please let me know if it gets through.

  Best,

  -Alex G.

  Hi Neelam,

  Awesome! If it got into your GMail account at all, that means the email forwarding is working. The Inbox/Social/Promotions boxes that GMail sets up can be edited to however you like.

  If you’d like all emails to your @loveneelu.com address to appear in one of those in particular, or with a star and a label, or anything like that, I’d recommend setting up a filter:
