The term email forwarding describes an e-mail message being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address that isn't mentioned as a recipient. For example, a client sends out an email from their personal 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 example, even though the customer never meant the email to be sent there and may not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are several reasons for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you have various emails it is possible to forward them all to a sole email address, which will make checking e-mails less complicated and allows you to collect emails and respond quickly. The function may also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an e mail message sent to a general email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Web Hosting

If you have a shared web hosting package with our company and you set up email addresses in your account, you will be able to forward it with just a couple of clicks to another address of your preference. The option can be enabled whenever you make a brand new mailbox or any time later and disabled just as easily if you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you can manage your account. You will also have the option to choose if a backup of the incoming messages will stay on our servers or not. The benefit of this option is you will always have a copy on your end if anything occurs with the other mailbox or if it isn't active for whatever reason at the time a message is forwarded. When the feature not active, an email will be received, forwarded and erased from our servers even if the remote email is functioning or not, so it might be a wise decision for it to be enabled just to be on the safe side.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

For people with a semi-dedicated server from us, you will need only a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the e-mails created on our server to a third-party e-mail address. In the very same area you will additionally be able to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the inbound emails are going. It is possible to activate or disable a forwarding account whenever you want and throughout the process you could also choose whether a backup copy of the emails has to be maintained on our servers or not. Although this option isn't a must have, it is extremely practical as you will get a copy of the messages on our end just in case that anything occurs with the third-party email address. Even when they have just a short-term problem, you risk losing email messages as when our system gets and forwards an e-mail message, nothing will be maintained on our end if you haven’t selected a copy to be saved.
