The term email forwarding describes a message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which isn't listed as a recipient. For example, a customer sends out an email from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they're involved, this is the single receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the message could be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never meant the email to be sent there and might not be aware about the existence of this mail box. There are numerous reasons for applying such forwarding. For example, if you've got a number of e-mail addresses you are able to forward them all to a sole email address, which will make monitoring emails simpler and will permit you to collect emails and respond to them promptly. The feature could also be used if a number of individuals should get a copy of an e mail message delivered to a standard mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you have a cloud website hosting package with us and you set up an email address in your account, you are able to forward it with just a couple of mouse clicks to another e-mail address of your choice. The feature can be enabled whenever you set up a brand new email address or any time later on and disabled just as easily in case you change your mind. This is done with the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you will handle your account. Additionally, you will have the option to choose whether a copy of the incoming messages will stay on our servers or not. The main advantage of this feature is that you will always have a backup on your server if anything occurs with the other mailbox or if perhaps it isn't active for reasons unknown at the time an e-mail is forwarded. If the feature not active, an email will be received, forwarded and removed from our system even if the remote email address is functioning or not, so it might be a wise decision to have it enabled just to be on the safe side.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server through our company, you will need a couple of clicks in the Email Manager part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the e-mails created on our end to a third-party address. In the exact same section you will additionally be able to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the incoming messages are sent. It is easy to activate or deactivate a forwarding account at any time and during the process you can also decide whether a backup copy of the e-mails should be kept on our servers or not. Although this option is not a requirement, it's very handy because you will have a backup copy of the messages on our end in the event that something occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even when they have simply a momentary issue, you run the risk of losing e-mail messages as when our system gets and forwards an email, absolutely nothing will be kept on our end if you haven’t selected a copy to be stored.
