The term email forwarding describes an e-mail being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address which isn't mentioned as a recipient. For example, a customer sends out an email from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is the single recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the e-mail may be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer never intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware about the existence of this mail box. There are numerous purposes for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you have many email addresses you are able to forward each of them to a one mailbox, which will make monitoring e-mails less difficult and allows you to collect emails and respond promptly. The function could also be used if a number of individuals should get a copy of an e mail message sent to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you have a cloud web hosting plan with us and you set up email addresses inside your account, you will be able to forward it with no more than a couple of mouse clicks to another address of your preference. The feature can be enabled when you make a brand new mailbox or any time afterwards and deactivated just as quickly any time you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you can handle your account. You'll have the option to decide whether a duplicate of the inbound e-mails will stay on our servers or not. The benefit of this feature is that you will always have a backup on your end if anything occurs with the other email address or if it isn't active for some reason at the time an email is forwarded. In case the feature not enabled, an email will be received, forwarded and erased from our system regardless of whether the remote email is operating or not, so it is usually a good idea to have it enabled just to be prepared.
