The term email forwarding describes an email message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which isn't listed as a receiver. For example, a customer sends an email from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are concerned, this is actually the single receiver. If there's 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 reasons for using such forwarding. For example, if you've various emails you're able to forward them all to a sole mailbox, which can make checking email messages less complicated and will permit you to collect messages and respond in a timely manner. The feature could also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a standard mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Web Hosting

It is really simple to configure forwarding for any e-mail configured in a web hosting account from us. This can be accomplished either when you set up a brand new mailbox through your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or at any moment later because the forwarding can be activated and deactivated for any existing mailbox with a couple of clicks. It's also possible to choose if a backup copy of the inbound emails will be maintained on our servers, a pretty practical feature. This will be a fail-safe in case that the remote email address is not accessible for some cause, not mentioning you will always have a backup of all your e-mails. When this option is not enabled for a given email address on our end, an incoming message will be received and sent forward, so no record of it will stay on our server. When the remote mailbox is inaccessible for the moment, you will simply lose this message.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server through us, you will need just a few mouse clicks in the Email Manager part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the e-mails configured on our system to a third-party e-mail address. Inside the very same section you will additionally have the ability to observe how many of your email addresses are forwarded and exactly where the inbound e-mails are going. You're able to activate or deactivate a forwarding account at any moment and throughout the process you may as well decide if a backup copy of the email messages should be kept on our servers or not. Even if this feature isn't a necessity, it is very helpful since you will have a copy of the emails on our end in the event that something happens with the third-party email address. Even if they have only a temporary issue, you run the risk of losing email messages as when our server receives and forwards an e-mail message, nothing at all will be kept on our end unless you chosen a copy to be maintained.
