The term e-mail forwarding refers to an e-mail message being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address that's not mentioned as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends an email from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is the single recipient. When there is an active forwarding, the message might be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer never meant the email to be sent there and may not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are various purposes for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you've numerous emails you are able to forward each of them to a sole email address, which will make monitoring emails easier and will permit you to get e-mails and respond to them in a timely manner. The function could also be used in case a number of people should get a copy of an electronic message delivered to a general mailbox.
E-mail Forwarding in Shared Web Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all of our shared web hosting plans, will let you forward any email inside the account to another one with ease. This can be done either throughout the creation of a new mailbox or whenever you want later in case you choose that you want this function. During the process, you will be able to choose if you prefer a backup of the email messages to be kept on the server. This way, you'll have a backup and you will avoid the possibility to lose a message if the forwarding is to an outside address, which is temporarily unavailable. This feature can be activated and deactivated at any moment, though if you use email messages for important matters, it is advisable to use it, because no data of the emails will be maintained on the server in case the option is not active. In case you determine that you do not need forwarding any longer, it takes a mouse click to deactivate it.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server from us, it will take you simply a few clicks in the Email Manager area of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the email addresses set up on our system to a third-party e-mail address. In the very same area you will also be able to observe how many of your email addresses are forwarded and exactly where the inbound e-mails are going. It is easy to enable or disable a forwarding account at any time and throughout the process you may as well decide if a backup of the email messages needs to be maintained on our servers or not. Even if this option isn't a must have, it is quite helpful as you will have a backup copy of the emails on our end in case that anything happens with the third-party mailbox. Even if they have simply a temporary issue, you risk losing email messages as once our system gets and forwards an e-mail message, nothing will be maintained on our end unless you chosen a backup to be maintained.
