FlareMail receives mail through Cloudflare Email Routing. Instead of forwarding to another mailbox, you route your address to the flaremail-api Worker, which parses each message and stores it for the app. You only do this once per address.
Add the routing rule
- Open Email RoutingIn the Cloudflare dashboard, select your domain and open Email Routing → Routes.
- Create a custom addressUnder Custom addresses, click Create address and enter the address you want to receive, e.g.
[email protected]. - Send it to a WorkerSet the action to Send to a Worker and pick
flaremail-apias the destination. - SaveSave the rule. Cloudflare now hands every message for that address to FlareMail.
Test it
From any other inbox, email your newly routed address. It should appear in FlareMail within a few seconds. If it doesn't, give it a minute (DNS and routing can lag briefly), then check Troubleshooting.
