Dearest All, Looking for Mail Hosting for Forwarding

Dearest All,
I am looking for a mail server only for only email forwards. I would imagine a mail server with very little storage, even as low as 100 MB of disk space would be enough for this, as the emails won't be stored, just immediately forwarded. I have been using email forwarding on my shared plan and I have been having many issues with dropped emails. I would imagine a mail server for forwarding would fix this. Even though many of the mail servers are fairly cheap, they still seem expensive for me as I will likely have less than 100 emails a month forwarded. Are there any providers which have a product similar to this, for a very budget price? Thank you all dearly.
With Warm Regards,
James B Peach

Dear James,
Please see: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/153781/mxroute-black-friday-deals
All your problems will be solved.
I wish life were as easy.
Best Wishes.
Will this help? https://forwardemail.net or https://improvmx.com/
https://forwardmx.io/ (not free)
Why not configure your gmail to auto-poll your pop mailbox?
Of note: I’ve been witnessing Google reject forwarded emails from major services (FB, Twitter) for SPF/DMARC failure even with SRS. And let’s be honest, everyone forwards to Gmail (I secretly think it’s because they hate me).
Dearest BlaZe,
I am looking into ImprovMX. I am currently using it however it seems quite slow, which is alright for my usage. My only worry is the service being free, seems too good to be true. For now I am trying it, maybe I will try ForwardMX or MXRoute in the future. Thank you dearly for your suggestions.

Why not just set and forward mail from domain provider such a Namecheap, it free and takes 5 sec setup.
+1 - IMHO This is the way to go for best price/results ratio.
EDIT: After rereading your (and other) post I now understand that this is for inbound email and would second:
Unless you control the receiving email server, polling is the best solution, as forwarding will be a PITA.
@OP Sorry if it is quite obvious but i wonder if you're looking for a preconfigured service or if you could get, i dunno let'd say a small VM to setup yourself would be nice too ?

Cheap shared hosting plan? Plenty of $X/yr options around.Clearly didn't read well enough. Probably best to grab via POP. I haven't had much success with forwarding stuff recently to gmail, etc as @jar noted.
namesilo, namecheap, google domains, gandi
they provide email forwarding for free if your doamins are there.
OVH provides free mail forwarding up to 1000 addresses with their FREE10M plan. I just activated it on my domains and it seems to work pretty nicely.
I'm using mailgun for my domain mailbox forwarding.
NameSilo.
Maybe our plans at https://iroute.io, you can setup forwarders there, working just fine. All delivered by MailChannels.
