The term email forwarding describes a message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address which isn't listed as a recipient. For example, a client sends an e-mail from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, 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 may not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are numerous reasons for using such forwarding. For instance, if you've got several email addresses you are able to forward them all to a single mailbox, which can make checking email messages less difficult and allows you to collect messages and respond in a timely manner. The function could also be used if a number of individuals should get a copy of an electronic message delivered to a standard mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Web Hosting

It is really simple to create forwarding for just about any e-mail set up in a web hosting account from our company. This can be achieved either when you set up a brand new email address via your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or any time later as the forwarding can be activated and deactivated for any current email address with just a few mouse clicks. It is also possible to decide if a backup copy of the incoming e-mails will be kept on our servers, a pretty useful feature. This can be a fail-safe whenever the remote mailbox is not accessible for whatever cause, not mentioning that you will have always a copy of all your e-mails. If this feature is not enabled for a specific email address on our end, an inbound e-mail will be received and sent forward, so no record of it will remain on the server. In case the remote mailbox is unavailable temporarily, you will simply lose this e-mail.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

For people with a semi-dedicated server through us, you'll need only a few clicks inside the Email Manager area of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the email addresses configured on our system to a third-party e-mail address. In the same area you will also have the ability to observe how many of your email addresses are forwarded and exactly where the inbound messages are sent. You can enable or disable a forwarding account at any time and throughout the process you may as well choose whether a backup of the emails has to be maintained on our servers or not. Even if this feature isn't a requirement, it is very helpful as you will get a copy of the messages on our end just in case that anything happens with the third-party mailbox. Even if they've got just a momentary issue, you run the risk of losing emails as once our server gets and forwards an email, absolutely nothing will be kept on our end if you haven’t selected a backup to be kept.
