Recently DA made a change to the way forwarding works. Users used to be able to have both a mailbox and a forwarder with the same name. It was never originally intended to be able to do that and has been fixed.

We have gotten a lot of tickets on this and are sympathetic to the problem, it's nothing we can control.
But, all hope is not lost. There is an easy solution to being able to keep both a local copy of your email AND forward it at the same time. You simply have to create a new mailbox with a different name and add it to the forwarder.
Say you have a forwarder called "info@mydomain.com" that forwards to "me@myisp.com".
Just create a mailbox called "info_copy@mydomain.com".
Then update the "info@mydomain.com" forwarder to send email to both "me@myisp.com" and "info_copy@mydomain.com". (seperate them with a comma in the forwarder text box).
Simple, works, and keeps everything tidy.
