In your Cloudflare account, find the Website/domain name. Then on the lefthand toolbar, you will see "Email" then go to "Email Routing"

Good luck
Cloudflare Docs
Configure rules and addresses | Cloudflare Email Routing docs
An email rule is a pair of a custom email address and a destination address, or a custom email address with an Email Worker. This allows you to route emails to your preferred inbox, or apply logic through Email Workers before deciding what should happen to your emails. You can have multiple custom addresses, to route email from specific provider...
i dont want the emails to be routed anywhere. i check my email at [email protected] and I want to set up more people like that. all the email routing stuff seems to want to send it to a pre existing email
What's your domain? Sounds like you use a pre-existing non-cloudflare email service
im not sure I can share it, it's the company I work for. Is there a way for me to find out myself?
Look at your records in Cloudflare, look for MX ones with the
Name being your domain name exactly. You could look externally too: https://dnschecker.org/#MX/google.com (change to your domain from google, of course)
Most providers are pretty obvious and use their names in itDNS Checker

something.mx.cloudflare.net is Cloudflare, Workspace has "google" in the name iirc, Microsoft is outlook.com, proofpoint is ppehosted, etc
