Does Proton Allow Automatic Forwarding?

If not, can anyone recommend free email that does?

I have my own domain but need a backup. Gmail has been my backup email for over 20 years. It is time for me to fix this.

edit - Free would be nice. This email account would get very little use.

Thank you!

edit - Not free. $1/mo. Will consider.

You can also try doing it yourself via hydroxide + whatever email automation thingy you prefer, for example.

Is that a new feature? I was looking for it a couple years ago when moving from Proton to a different service and didn't think it was an option.

Looks like it was introduced December 14, 2023. https://proton.me/blog/email-forwarding

Ah, that makes sense.

for most messages encryption is done by proton when they are received, because most of them are not end to end encrypted. while doing that they can just forward the original no issues. I have no idea though what can they do with messages sent from another proton account, as that's end to end encrypted. maybe they forward the PGP encrypted message?

tutanota won't cause any problems because messages between proton and tuta are not end to end encrypted (unless you manually set up PGP encryption, which you can do when sending to any other email providers).

Automatically forwarding emails. You can let incoming emails be automatically forwarded to another address.
How to automatically forward emails:
Enable the Auto forward button .
Enter the email address to which you want to forward the messages.
In order to keep a copy of the email, enable Keep a copy of the message.
The auto forwarding will be entered as email filter. If additional filter rules are to be applied after the auto forwarding, enable Process subsequent rules.

Filtering Emails by Using Rules
Email filters help you organize incoming email messages. An email filter consists of one or several rules. By setting rules you can e.g. trigger the following actions:

The email is moved to a specific email folder.
The email is forwarded to another email address.

👍👍

Thanks. Hoping to find something free but this could work.
