The term e-mail forwarding describes an email being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that isn't listed as a recipient. For example, a client sends out an email from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is actually the single receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the message can be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way intended the email to be sent there and may not be aware about the presence of this mailbox. There are several reasons for making use of such forwarding. For instance, if you've various e-mail addresses you're able to forward each of them to a one mailbox, which will make keeping track of emails less complicated and will allow you to get e-mails and respond timely. The feature could also be used in case a number of people should receive a copy of an e-mail message sent to a standard mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Hosting

In case you have a cloud hosting package with our company and you create an e-mail address in your account, you'll be able to forward it with no more than a couple of mouse clicks to any other e-mail address of your choosing. The option can be activated when you set up a brand new mailbox or whenever you want afterwards and disabled just as easily if you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you will handle your account. Additionally, you will have the option to choose whether a duplicate of the incoming messages will stay on our servers or not. The advantage of this feature is basically that you will always have a backup on your end if something occurs with the other email address or maybe it's not active for some reason during the time an e-mail message is forwarded. When the option is not active, an e-mail will be received, forwarded and removed from our servers no matter if the remote email is operating or not, so it might be a good idea for it to be active just to be prepared.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

For people with a semi-dedicated server from our company, it will take simply a few clicks inside the Email Manager area of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the email addresses configured on our server to a third-party e-mail address. In the exact same area you will also be able to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the incoming emails are sent. It is possible to activate or deactivate a forwarding account at any moment and throughout the process you could also decide whether a backup copy of the messages needs to be maintained in our system or not. Even if this feature isn't a necessity, it's very practical since you will have a copy of the messages on our end just in case that anything occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even if they have a short-term problem, you risk losing e-mail messages as the moment our server receives and forwards an email, nothing at all will be maintained on our end unless you selected a backup to be stored.
