It’s important to know that forwarded emails are often perceived as spam or phishing attacks by email providers like Gmail or Yahoo. This is particularly common with Gmail accounts. If you are sending test messages from the account where your email forwarding address is forwarding, your email program may recognize that the message you sent is the same as the message you received, and only display the message as "sent mail," not in your inbox. Your email forwarding address is not forwarding to the email account where you are checking your mail. The messages have been delayed by either the email forwarding servers or the destination account and will be delivered eventually. The messages are deleted by the destination account without generating a bounce-back message, possibly because of being flagged by spam software. The messages have been flagged by a spam filter on the destination account and delivered into a "spam" or "trash" folder instead of the inbox.
