I am trying out Cloudflare email routing and I was wondering instead of sending emails to a different email address if I could just login with that email on a mailbox like gmail or outlook.
Isn’t that the same thing? Messages would forward to Gmail.
If you want to skip the forwarding hop, you’d need to set up Google Workspace/G Suite so mail to your domain would go directly to your Gmail account after you’ve configured their service for your domain.
