How do I set up email forwarding on Squarespace?

Reviewed October 13, 2026, by Long Drive Group.

Check which email service actually hosts the mailbox and follow its current forwarding instructions. A registered domain does not by itself establish a working mailbox.

Test sending, receiving, reply behavior, and spam handling with owned addresses. Preserve existing MX and authentication records unless a deliberate migration is planned. Verify the route before publishing a contact address.
