Stop email from forwarding

I have a bellsouth.net email address which I have had for a very long time.  I guess at some point I set it up to forward emails to a gmail account.  Well, I guess somewhere along the line email forwarding was deleted from basic accounts, so now the feature is not visible in Settings.  I want to stop the emails from forwarding, but I can't because the feature isn't there for me to edit it.  What do I do?  Someone please help!!!

Hi @kcgatorz,

 

We completely understand your concern regarding Bell South email, and would like to help. Let's get the assistance you require.

Certainly! Let's get your email forwarding sorted out. Here are some steps you can follow:

 

1. Please check these BellSouth Email Settings:
- Log in to your BellSouth email account.
- Look for the settings or options menu. It might be labeled as "Settings," "Options," or something similar.
- Find the section related to email forwarding.

 

2. Try to Disable forwarding with the below providing steps:
 - In the forwarding settings, you should see options like:
 - Disable forwarding: This will turn off mail forwarding completely.
- Forward and keep a copy: This forwards your email and keeps a copy in your BellSouth account.
- Forward, then discard: This forwards your email without keeping a copy.
- Select the option that suits your needs (in your case, choose "Disable forwarding").
 - Save your changes.

 

3.  Also, check for a Slider or Checkbox:
- Some email services have a slider or checkbox to enable or disable forwarding. Look for it in the forwarding settings.
- If you find it, slide it to the off position or uncheck the box to stop forwarding.

 

Let us know how it goes.
For further assistance we're here to assist you.
