You can purchase email forwarding accounts to set up extra email addresses without having to purchase full mailboxes. Once you purchase a pack of email forwarding accounts, you can associate them with any of your email addresses.

  5. On the left, click Forwarding Plans to use a forwarding plan you have already set up, or click Unused Forwarding, under the Unused Plans folder to use a new plan.
