Forwarding
One address for the things your family needs to remember
Your Smitty address is a handoff. Forward the message, keep the original in your inbox, and let Smitty pull out what the household needs.

The address is private to your household
Every Smitty household receives a private forwarding address. Copy it and save it as a contact called Smitty. When a message arrives, your mail app can find Smitty the same way it finds any other contact.
Forward one email
Open the family email, choose Forward, enter your household’s Smitty address, keep the original subject and attachments intact, and send. You do not need to write an explanation when the message is clear.
This is for Leo.
Forward from any inbox
Your Smitty address works like an ordinary email address. Use it from Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, iCloud Mail, Yahoo Mail, and most school or activity systems with a forward option.
Let another adult forward too
Your partner does not need to send information through you. Once they join the household, they can use the same household address. The route into the family system should not run through one parent’s memory.
Manual forwarding is enough
You do not need to grant access to your entire inbox or build an elaborate mail rule before Smitty can help. Some families later automate trusted senders. Start with the habit that makes sense now.
