The term email forwarding refers to an email being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address that isn't listed as a recipient. For example, a client sends out an email from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, this is the only receiver. When there is an active forwarding, the e-mail could be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way meant the email to be sent there and may not be aware of the existence of this mailbox. There are several reasons for using such forwarding. For instance, if you have a number of email addresses you can forward each of them to a single mailbox, which will make monitoring emails less complicated and will allow you to receive emails and respond to them timely. The feature could also be used in case a number of people should get a copy of an electronic message delivered to a general mail box.
E-mail Forwarding in Shared Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, that is provided with all of our shared website hosting plans, will let you forward any e-mail inside the account to a different one with ease. This can be done either throughout the creation of a new email address or at any time afterwards in case you decide that you require this function. During the process, you will be able to choose if you prefer a duplicate of the emails to be kept on the server. This way, you will have a backup and you'll steer clear of the possibility to lose a message if the forwarding is to an external address, which can be briefly unavailable. This feature can be activated and deactivated at any time, though if you use e-mail for essential matters, it is best to use it, as no data of the emails will be maintained on the server when the option is not enabled. If you decide that you don't need forwarding any longer, it will take only a click to deactivate it.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, it takes a few mouse clicks to forward any email addresses located inside the account to a third-party mailbox. You are able to achieve this from the feature-rich Email Manager part of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and during the task you could also decide if a copy of your emails must be kept on our servers or not. The aforementioned feature is optional, but rather handy since you will have a backup of your inbound messages, so even if anything happens with the other email address, you'll not lose any info. You're able to activate or disable the forwarding for just about any email address at any time and forward the e-mails to a number of email addresses if you want. You will also have the ability to check out a list of all mailboxes that are being forwarded and also where the email messages are being forwarded to.
