The term email forwarding describes an e-mail being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that's not mentioned as a receiver. For instance, a client sends an email from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they're concerned, this is actually the only receiver. When there is an active forwarding, the email may be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way intended the e-mail to be sent there and may not be aware about the existence of this mail box. There are numerous purposes for making use of such forwarding. For example, if you've got a number of email addresses it is possible to forward all of them to a sole email address, which will make monitoring email messages less complicated and will allow you to collect e-mails and respond timely. The function can also be used in case a number of individuals should get a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, that is provided with all of our website hosting plans, will allow you to forward any e-mail inside the account to a different one with ease. This can be done either during the creation of a new email address or at any time later on in case you decide that you require this function. During the process, you are able to decide if you prefer a duplicate of the emails to be maintained on the server. This way, you will have a backup and you will prevent the probability to lose a message if the forwarding is to an outside address, that's momentarily inaccessible. This feature can be enabled and deactivated any time, but if you use e-mail for important matters, it is better to use it, as no records of the e-mails are maintained on the server in case the option is not enabled. Any time you decide that you don't need forwarding anymore, it will take a click to deactivate it.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

For people with a semi-dedicated server through our company, it will take you simply a couple of clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the emails created on our system to a third-party e-mail address. In the very same area you will additionally be able to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and where the incoming emails are going. It is possible to activate or deactivate a forwarding account at any time and during the process you may as well decide whether a backup copy of the emails needs to be maintained in our system or not. Even though this feature isn't a requirement, it's practical because you will have a backup copy of the emails on our end in case that something occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even if they've got only a short-term problem, you run the risk of losing e-mail messages as when our server receives and forwards an email, nothing will be maintained on our end unless you selected a copy to be saved.
