External domain and email forwarding

[E L]

Hi, after I used Cloudflare to point my domain to AppDrag, the status was green and website was live. When I tried to do email forwarding a few hours later, I discovered the status turned to red circle and therefore I cannot access email forwarding option. I have watched Configuring Gmail and using Cloudflare already. Please advise.
Thanks

Indeed using cloudflare name servers is not compatible with our free email forwarding service.
If you want to keep cloudflare, I recommend you to use a third party email service (Gsuite, Office 365, ...)

Zoho have a free plan with 5 mailboxes for your domain:

I'm using CrazyDomains which requires me to upgrade plan before allowing me web forwarding, so I used Cloudflare to accomplish that and it came with SSL as well.
Given my need for web forwarding, and therefore Cloudflare, I will have to use a third party email service then. Correct?
Also, I dont need to activate SSL in AppDrag again right?

@Joseph-Benguira Besides email forwarding, by using Cloudflare, will I miss out on any other AppDrag features?

Indeed if you have SSL from cloudflare no need to activate it in AppDrag

When you use cloudflare there is 2 features disabled:

• email forwarding
• dns editor (you then have to do it on cloudflare dashboard)
