The term e-mail forwarding refers to an e-mail being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which is not mentioned as a recipient. For example, a customer sends out an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is actually the single recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the message can be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, even though the customer never intended the message to be sent there and may not be aware of the existence of this mail box. There are different reasons for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you've several e-mail addresses it is possible to forward each of them to a single mail box, which can make monitoring emails less complicated and will allow you to collect e-mails and respond quickly. The feature may also be used in case a number of people should get a copy of an email message delivered to a standard mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all of our hosting packages, will allow you to forward any email inside the account to a second one without difficulty. You can do this either during the creation of a brand new email address or any time later in case you choose that you'll need this feature. During the process, you are able to consider if you want a backup of the emails to be kept on the server. This way, you will have a backup and you will steer clear of the probability to lose an email if the forwarding is to an external address, which is temporarily unavailable. This feature can be enabled and deactivated at any moment, though if you use e-mail for essential matters, it is best to use it, since no data of the email messages are maintained on the server in case the option is not enabled. In case you determine that you do not need forwarding any longer, it takes a mouse click to deactivate it.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

For people with a semi-dedicated server from us, it will take only a few mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the emails configured on our end to a third-party address. In the very same section you will additionally have the ability to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and where the inbound e-mails are going. It is easy to activate or deactivate a forwarding account whenever you want and during the process you may as well choose if a copy of the messages needs to be kept on our servers or not. Even if this feature isn't a must have, it is extremely handy because you will have a copy of the messages on our end in case that anything occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even if they've got only a momentary problem, you risk losing emails as when our server receives and forwards an e-mail message, nothing will be kept on our end if you haven’t selected a copy to be maintained.
