The term email forwarding refers to an email being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that's not listed as a recipient. For instance, a client sends an e-mail from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they are concerned, this is actually the only recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the email might be sent to owner@domain.com, for example, 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 mail box. There are several reasons for making use of such forwarding. For example, if you've got several email addresses it is possible to forward each of them to a one mail box, which can make keeping track of e-mails less complicated and will permit you to collect messages and respond to them on time. The function may also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a standard mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting package with our company and you create an e-mail address in your account, you are able to forward it with just a couple of mouse clicks to any other e-mail address of your choosing. The option can be activated when you make a brand new mailbox or whenever you want later on and disabled just as quickly in case you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you can manage your account. Additionally, you will have the option to choose whether a copy of the inbound emails will stay on our servers or not. The main benefit of this option is basically that you will always have a backup on your end if something occurs with the other mailbox or maybe it isn't active for reasons unknown during the time an e-mail message is forwarded. If the option is not active, a message will be received, forwarded and erased from our system no matter if the remote email address is working or not, so it is actually a wise decision for it to be enabled just to be on the safe side.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server through us, you'll need simply a couple of mouse clicks inside the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the emails configured on our system to a third-party e-mail address. Inside the same area you will additionally have the ability to see how many of your email addresses are forwarded and where the incoming e-mails are going. It is easy to activate or deactivate a forwarding account whenever you want and throughout the process you may also choose if a copy of the emails has to be kept in our system or not. Even though this feature isn't a necessity, it is practical since you will have a backup of the emails on our end in the event that something happens with the third-party email address. Even when they've got just a momentary issue, you risk losing e-mails as once our system gets and forwards an email, nothing will be maintained on our end if you haven’t chosen a copy to be saved.
