The term email forwarding describes an email message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address which is not listed as a recipient. For example, a customer sends an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they're concerned, this is the only receiver. If there's an active forwarding, the email can be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer never intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are different reasons for making use of such forwarding. For example, if you've got numerous e-mail addresses you're able to forward each of them to a one mail box, which will make checking e-mails less difficult and will allow you to receive messages and respond promptly. The feature may also be used if a number of people should receive a copy of an email message sent to a general email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all of our cloud hosting plans, will allow you to forward any e-mail address in the account to a second one with ease. You can do this either throughout the creation of a new email address or whenever you want later on in case you choose that you'll need this function. During the process, you will be able to choose if you need a copy of the messages to be maintained on the server. This way, you will have a backup and you will prevent the probability to lose an e-mail if the forwarding is to an external address, which is momentarily unavailable. This option can be enabled and disabled at any moment, and when you use e-mail for crucial matters, it is best to use it, because no data of the email messages will be maintained on the server if the option is not active. Any time you decide that you don't need forwarding any more, it will take a click to disable it.
