The ForwardEmail alternative with a Routes API and real sending
Forward Email is a solid free forwarder. ThreadCamp gives you a programmatic Routes API, unlimited-domain-friendly forwarding with SRS, and full transactional sending in the same key - so forwarding and sending live in one platform.
ForwardEmail vs ThreadCamp
| Point | ForwardEmail | ThreadCamp |
|---|---|---|
| Routing | Alias config + API for aliases | Programmatic Routes: catch-all/alias -> address, webhook, inbox, split |
| Sending | SMTP sends on paid tier | Resend-compatible send endpoint + scheduled send |
| Agent inboxes | Mailboxes via IMAP | Inbox-as-API with threads + MCP tools |
ThreadCamp is the email API for AI agents: inboxes, sending and forwarding with SRS behind one key.

Questions
Does ThreadCamp replace forwardemail.net?
For programmatic use, yes - it provides catch-all and alias Routes with SRS via an API, plus sending, so you don't need a separate forwarding service and sending provider.
