The term e-mail forwarding refers to an e-mail being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address that's not listed as a recipient. For example, a customer sends out an email from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they are involved, this is the single recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the email might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, even though the customer never meant the email to be sent there and may not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are various reasons for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you have a number of emails it is easy to forward each of them to a one mailbox, which will make keeping track of emails less complicated and allows you to receive emails and respond to them promptly. The feature may also be used in case a number of people should get a copy of an email message sent to a standard mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, that is provided with all of the website hosting plans, will let you forward any e-mail address inside the account to an alternative one effortlessly. This can be done either throughout the creation of a brand new email address or whenever you want later on in case you decide that you want this feature. During the process, you are able to consider if you need a copy of the e-mails to be kept on the server. In this way, you'll have a backup and you'll steer clear of the probability to lose an email if the forwarding is to an outside address, which can be momentarily unavailable. This feature can be enabled and disabled whenever you want, but if you use e-mail for important matters, it is advisable to use it, as no data of the emails will be kept on the server if the option is not enabled. If you determine that you do not need forwarding any more, it will take simply a click to disable it.
