What is Split Delivery
– You can adjust email routing and storage as an administrator to suit your company’s needs.
Gmail split delivery enables you to route incoming emails to two distinct email systems within your domain, according to predefined recipients. Use split delivery, for instance, if some employees use Gmail and some use another email provider in your company. Split delivery is also an option for switching from another email server to Gmail.
