The term e-mail forwarding describes an e-mail message being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address which is not listed as a receiver. For example, a customer sends an email from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, it is the only receiver. If there's an active forwarding, the e-mail could be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way meant the message to be sent there and might not be aware about the presence of this mailbox. There are different purposes for applying such forwarding. For example, if you've got numerous email addresses you'll be able to forward them all to a sole mail box, which can make keeping track of email messages simpler and allows you to receive e-mails and respond to them in a timely manner. The function may also be used in case a number of individuals should get a copy of an electronic message delivered to a standard email address.
E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with all of the shared hosting packages, will help you to forward any email address inside the account to an alternative one effortlessly. You can do this either during the creation of a brand new email address or at any time afterwards if you choose that you need this function. During the process, you'll be able to choose if you need a copy of the emails to be kept on the server. This way, you'll have a backup and you'll steer clear of the possibility to lose an e-mail if the forwarding is to an outside address, which can be temporarily unavailable. This option can be enabled and deactivated at any time, though if you use emails for critical matters, it is better to use it, as no data of the e-mails will be maintained on the server if the option is not active. Any time you decide that you don't need forwarding any more, it will take only a click to disable it.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server through our company, you'll need simply a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the email addresses created on our end to a third-party address. In the same area you will additionally have the ability to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and where the inbound messages are sent. You're able to enable or deactivate a forwarding account whenever you want and during the process you may also decide whether a copy of the email messages needs to be kept on our servers or not. Even though this feature is not a requirement, it is quite handy as you will get a backup copy of the messages on our end just in case that anything happens with the third-party email address. Even when they've got a short-term issue, you risk losing e-mail messages as the moment our system gets and forwards a message, absolutely nothing will be kept on our end unless you selected a copy to be maintained.
