The term e-mail forwarding refers to an e-mail being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address that is not listed as a receiver. For instance, a client sends an email from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is actually the single receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail can be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer in no way intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are different purposes for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you've got a number of e-mail addresses you're able to forward them all to a sole mailbox, which can make monitoring emails less difficult and allows you to get emails and respond to them timely. The function can also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an e mail message sent to a standard email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Web Hosting

In case you have a shared web hosting package with our company and you create e-mail addresses inside your account, you are able to forward it with only a few clicks to another address of your choice. The feature can be activated when you set up a brand new mailbox or any time afterwards and deactivated just as quickly in case you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you will manage your account. In addition, you will have the option to choose if a copy of the incoming e-mails will stay on our servers or not. The advantage of this option is you will always have a copy on your server if anything occurs with the other mailbox or if perhaps it isn't active for reasons unknown during the time a message is forwarded. If the option is not enabled, a message will be received, forwarded and deleted from our system regardless of whether the remote e-mail address is working or not, so it is actually a good idea for it to be active just to be prepared.
