The term email forwarding describes an e-mail message being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address which is not listed as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, it is the only recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the message might be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer never intended the e-mail to be sent there and might not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are numerous purposes for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you have several emails you are able to forward all of them to a sole mailbox, which can make checking email messages easier and will permit you to get e-mails and respond promptly. The feature can also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an e mail message sent to a standard mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

In case you have a shared hosting plan with us and you create e-mail addresses inside your account, you are able to forward it with just a couple of mouse clicks to another e-mail address of your preference. The option can be enabled when you create a new email address or whenever you want afterwards and disabled just as quickly if you change your mind. This can be done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you can manage your account. You will also have the option to choose whether a backup of the inbound e-mails will stay on our servers or not. The main benefit of this option is that you will always have a copy on your end if something occurs with the other email address or maybe if it isn't active for whatever reason during the time a message is forwarded. When the option is not active, an e-mail will be received, forwarded and removed from our system even if the remote e-mail is working or not, so it can be quite a wise decision for it to be active just to be prepared.
