The term email forwarding refers to an email being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address that is not listed as a receiver. For example, a customer sends an e-mail from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, this is actually the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the message may be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer never meant the email to be sent there and may not be aware about the presence of this mailbox. There are numerous purposes for working with such forwarding. For example, if you've a number of email addresses it is possible to forward each of them to a one mail box, which can make checking email messages easier and will allow you to collect e-mails and respond to them promptly. The function could also be used if a number of people should receive a copy of an email message delivered to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

In case you have a shared hosting package with us and you set up email addresses in your account, you'll be able to forward it with only a few mouse clicks to any other e-mail address of your choosing. The option can be enabled when you create a new mailbox or any time later and deactivated just as easily if you change your mind. This is done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you can handle your account. In addition, you will have the option to choose whether a backup of the incoming emails 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 anything occurs with the other email address or if perhaps it is not active for whatever reason at the time an e-mail message is forwarded. If the feature not enabled, an email will be received, forwarded and deleted from our servers regardless of whether the remote email address is working or not, so it is usually a good idea to have it enabled just to be on the safe side.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Using a semi-dedicated server package through our company, it requires just a couple of clicks to forward any of your emails managed in the account to a third-party email address. It will be possible to do that from the feature-rich Email Manager part of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can also choose if a copy of your email messages should be kept on our servers or not. The aforementioned feature is optional, yet helpful as you will have a backup of your inbound e-mails, so regardless of whether something occurs with the other email address, you won't lose any data. You'll be able to enable or deactivate the forwarding for just about any mailbox at any moment and forward the messages to various addresses if you want. You will also be able to view a list of all the email addresses that are being forwarded as well as exactly where the emails are being sent to.
