The term e-mail forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address that is not listed as a recipient. For example, a client sends out an email from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is actually the single recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the message might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer in no way intended the e-mail to be sent there and might not be aware of the existence of this mailbox. There are different purposes for using such forwarding. For example, if you've many email addresses you'll be able to forward each of them to a one email address, which can make checking email messages less difficult and allows you to collect messages and respond on time. The function may also be used if a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e mail message sent to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with all the shared hosting plans, will help you to forward any email address inside the account to an alternative one without difficulty. You can do this either throughout the creation of a new mailbox or any time later on if you choose that you require this feature. During the process, you will be able to decide if you want a backup of the e-mails to be maintained on the server. This way, you will have a backup and you will avoid the possibility to lose a message if the forwarding is to an external address, which can be temporarily unavailable. This option can be enabled and deactivated at any time, and if you use emails for essential matters, it is best to use it, since no records of the emails will be maintained on the server when the option is not enabled. In case you determine that you don't need forwarding anymore, it will take only a mouse click to disable it.
