The term e-mail forwarding describes a message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which is not mentioned as a recipient. For instance, a client sends out an email from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, this is the only recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the message might be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never meant the message to be sent there and may not be aware of the existence of this mail box. There are numerous purposes for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you have many emails it is easy to forward each of them to a one mailbox, which can make keeping track of e-mails less difficult and will allow you to collect e-mails and respond to them timely. The function could also be used in case a number of people should get a copy of an e mail message delivered to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Web Hosting

In case you have a shared web hosting plan with us and you create e-mail addresses in your account, you are able to forward it with just a few mouse clicks to any other e-mail address of your choosing. The feature can be activated when you set up a brand new email address or at any time afterwards and deactivated just as quickly in case you change your mind. This is done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you can handle your account. You'll have the option to choose whether a copy of the incoming emails will stay on our servers or not. The main advantage of this option is that you will always have a backup on your server if something happens with the other mailbox or maybe it isn't active for reasons unknown at the time an email message is forwarded. If the feature not enabled, a message will be received, forwarded and removed from our system regardless of whether the remote email address is functioning or not, so it can be quite a good idea for it to be active just to be prepared.
