The term e-mail forwarding describes an e-mail message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which isn't mentioned as a receiver. For instance, a client sends an email from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is the only recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the e-mail could be sent to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer never intended the e-mail to be sent there and may not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are numerous purposes for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you've got a number of email addresses it is possible to forward them all to a sole email address, which will make monitoring email messages easier and will permit you to receive messages and respond in a timely manner. The function can also be used in case a number of people should get a copy of an e-mail message sent to a general mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you have a cloud web hosting plan with our company and you create e-mail addresses inside your account, you are able to forward it with no more than a few mouse clicks to any other address of your choice. The feature can be enabled whenever you set up a brand new mailbox or whenever you want later on and deactivated just as easily in case you change your mind. This can be done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you can handle your account. You'll have the option to decide whether a duplicate of the incoming messages will stay on our servers or not. The advantage of this option is you will always have a copy on your end if something happens with the other email address or if perhaps it is not active for some reason during the time an e-mail is forwarded. In case the feature not active, a message will be received, forwarded and deleted from our system regardless of whether the remote email is functioning or not, so it can be quite a good idea to have it active just to be on the safe side.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

For people with a semi-dedicated server from us, you will need only a couple of clicks inside the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the email addresses created on our server to a third-party e-mail address. In the same section you will also be able to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the incoming e-mails are going. You're able to activate or deactivate a forwarding account at any moment and throughout the process you can also decide whether a copy of the messages has to be maintained in our system or not. Although this option is not a necessity, it is helpful as you will have a backup of the emails on our end in case that anything occurs with the third-party email address. Even when they have just a momentary issue, you run the risk of losing email messages as the moment our server receives and forwards an e-mail message, nothing at all will be maintained on our end unless you selected a copy to be maintained.
