If the checkbox circled below is selected (a checkmark appears in the box) and there is no forwarding address in the "Forward mail to" textbox, all incoming messages will not be delivered. Any incoming messages sent to you while this box is selected cannot be retrieved.

Leave the Forwarding Email checkbox blank if you have not specified an email address to forward messages to.

If you do not want to forward your messages to another account MAKE SURE that the checkbox is not selected.
