We've used ForwardMX for a couple years now. Originally we used email forwarding option that cam with Google Domains, but as we migrated more and more domains from Google to Cloudflare we had to find a replacement for the mail forwarding service. This is very easy to setup and use.

Pros

ForwardMX is very easy to setup and use. Their support team has been very responsive to our issues.

Cons

With email occasionally you have delivery issues. Overall ForwardMX has been great.

Reasons for choosing ForwardMX

ImprovMX's pricing didn't make sense for our needs.

We really needed a forward email service. Forward MX is affordable, doing just the task it is designed for. I haven't got any experience with the time it takes to forward, but we will see how that works.

Pros

Easy set up, but even better the support. I've got several replies within 24 hours (we are in a different time zone). ForwardMX provides features that other services don't, like relay messages, multiple receivers (more than 10 or more than 250 characters), or login possibility (others are just sending a unique link).

Cons

It is not possible (yet) to add multiple users to an account. That would be a helpful feature!

Terrible beyond belief. Mail after mail sent and not a single response.

Pros

Nothing - you register and NOTHING happens.

Cons

Everything. You pay your money. Do all the changes to the MX records and their mail servers just rejects all emails or is too busy.
