The term e-mail forwarding refers to an email message being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address that's not mentioned as a receiver. For example, a client sends an e-mail from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is actually the single receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail might be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never meant the email to be sent there and might not be aware of the existence of this mailbox. There are numerous purposes for applying such forwarding. For example, if you've several email addresses you're able to forward each of them to a single email address, which can make keeping track of emails easier and will allow you to collect e-mails and respond quickly. The feature can also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an email message delivered to a general mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting plan with us and you set up e-mail addresses inside your account, you are able to forward it with no more than a couple of mouse clicks to another e-mail address of your choosing. The feature can be activated whenever you set up a new email address or whenever you want later on and disabled just as easily if you change your mind. This is done with the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you can control your account. Additionally, you will have the option to choose whether a duplicate of the inbound e-mails will stay on our servers or not. The main advantage of this option is that you will always have a backup on your server if something happens with the other mailbox or if perhaps it isn't active for whatever reason during the time an e-mail is forwarded. If the feature not enabled, an email will be received, forwarded and removed from our servers even if the remote email is working or not, so it might be a good idea to have it active just to be on the safe side.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, it requires just a couple of mouse clicks to forward one of your email addresses managed inside the account to a third-party email address. It is possible to get this done in the feature-rich Email Manager area of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and during this process you can also decide if a backup of your email messages must be kept on our servers or not. The aforementioned feature is optional, but helpful because you will have a backup of your inbound emails, so regardless of whether anything occurs with the other email address, you won't lose any data. It is easy to activate or disable the forwarding for any email address at any time and forward the messages to several email addresses if you wish. You will also be capable to see a listing of all email addresses that are now being forwarded and also exactly where the e-mails are being forwarded to.
