The term e-mail forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which is not listed as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends an e-mail from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they are concerned, this is the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer in no way meant the e-mail to be sent there and may not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are various reasons for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you have several emails it is possible to forward them all to a one mailbox, which can make checking email messages easier and allows you to collect messages and respond to them timely. The feature could also be used in case a number of individuals should get a copy of an email message sent to a general mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you have a cloud web hosting package with our company and you create e-mail addresses in your account, you are able to forward it with only a couple of mouse clicks to another e-mail address of your preference. The option can be activated whenever you make a brand new email address or at any time later on and disabled just as easily if you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you will control your account. You will also have the option to decide if a duplicate of the incoming emails will stay on our servers or not. The main benefit of this option is basically that you will always have a copy on your end if anything happens with the other mailbox or if perhaps it is not active for some reason during the time an email message is forwarded. If the option is not active, a message will be received, forwarded and deleted from our servers no matter if the remote e-mail is working or not, so it can be quite a good idea for it to be active just to be on the safe side.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

For people with a semi-dedicated server from us, you'll need simply a few mouse clicks inside the Email Manager part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the e-mails created on our end to a third-party address. Inside the very same section you will also be able to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the inbound messages are sent. It is easy to enable or deactivate a forwarding account at any time and during the process you could also choose if a backup of the messages has to be maintained in our system or not. Although this feature is not a must have, it is helpful because 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 if they have just a momentary issue, you run the risk of losing e-mails as when our system gets and forwards an email, nothing at all will be stored on our end unless you chosen a backup to be kept.
