The term email forwarding describes an email being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address that's not mentioned as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends an email from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, this is the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail can be sent to owner@domain.com, for example, even though the customer never intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are several reasons for using such forwarding. For instance, if you've got many emails you can forward each of them to a sole mailbox, which will make checking email messages easier and will allow you to collect emails and respond timely. The feature can also be used in case a number of individuals 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 set up an e-mail address inside your account, you will be able to forward it with only a couple of mouse clicks to another e-mail address of your choosing. The feature can be enabled when you create a new mailbox or any time afterwards and deactivated just as quickly in case you change your mind. This can be done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you will manage your account. In addition, you will have the option to decide if a backup of the incoming emails will stay on our servers or not. The main benefit of this feature is basically that you will always have a backup on your server if something occurs with the other mailbox or maybe if it's not active for some reason at the time a message is forwarded. When the feature not enabled, an email will be received, forwarded and erased from our servers regardless of whether the remote email is operating or not, so it can be quite a wise decision to have it enabled just to be prepared.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using a semi-dedicated server plan through us, it takes just a couple of clicks to forward any emails managed in your account to any third-party mailbox. You will be able to do that from the feature-rich Email Manager area of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and during this process you can also decide if a copy of your emails needs to be maintained on our servers or not. The aforementioned feature is optional, however rather helpful as you will have a copy of your incoming messages, so whether or not anything happens with the other mailbox, you will not lose any info. You are able to activate or disable the forwarding for every email address at any moment and forward the e-mails to various email addresses if you need. You'll be capable to check out a listing of all mailboxes that are now being forwarded and where the e-mails are being sent to.
