The term email forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address that's not listed as a receiver. For example, a customer sends out an email from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, this is the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail may be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer never intended the e-mail to be sent there and may not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are different purposes for using such forwarding. For instance, if you've a number of e-mail addresses you are able to forward all of them to a sole mail box, which will make monitoring email messages easier and will permit you to collect messages and respond to them quickly. The function may also be used if a number of individuals should receive a copy of an email message delivered to a standard mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Website Hosting

In case you have a shared website hosting plan with our company and you create email addresses in your account, you'll be able to forward it with just a couple of clicks to any other address of your preference. The feature can be enabled when you set up a brand new mailbox or at any time later and disabled just as easily any time you change your mind. This is done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you will manage your account. You will also have the option to choose if a duplicate of the inbound messages will remain on our servers or not. The advantage of this feature is basically that you will always have a copy on your server if something happens with the other mailbox or maybe if it's not active for some reason at the time an e-mail message is forwarded. If the feature not active, an email will be received, forwarded and deleted from our system no matter if the remote email is operating or not, so it is actually a wise decision for it to be active just to be prepared.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

The feature-rich Email Manager tool in the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, which will come with all our semi-dedicated plan, will help you to forward any e-mail that you create in the account to one particular or several other addresses with only a handful of clicks. Additionally, you will have the ability to see a list of all email addresses you have, which ones are forwarded plus exactly where they're forwarded to. This feature can be enabled and disabled whenever you want and you can now also decide on if a backup of the inbound e-mails must be maintained on our system or not. Though this option is not essential, it might be more convenient once you take advantage of it, as you will possess a backup of the emails when there is any kind of trouble with the remote mail server. Regardless of whether there is a short-term problem and no emails are lost on our end, you may still not receive a forwarded e-mail if it was relayed by our servers within the downtime.
