Recipients are the real email addresses where your aliases forward mail. You must add and verify each recipient before you can use it. This article explains how to add a recipient and what to do if verification email does not arrive.

For privacy, consider a dedicated inbox at a privacy-focused provider (e.g. Proton Mail or Tuta).

How to add a recipient

1. Log in and go to Recipients in the navigation bar.
2. Click Add Recipient.
3. Enter the email address you want to add (e.g. johndoe@example.com) and submit.
4. Open that inbox and click the verification link in the email from addy.io. The recipient shows as verified in the Verified column.

If you do not receive the verification email

• Check your spam or junk folder.
• On the Recipients page, click Resend email in the Verified column for that address.

Some unfamiliar recipient domains need a second verification step: reply to the first notification email from addy.io. You will then receive a second email with the verification link.

Recipient email addresses are stored encrypted in addy.io's database.
