The term e-mail forwarding describes a message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address that's not listed as a recipient. For instance, a client sends an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, this is the only receiver. If there's an active forwarding, the email can be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer never meant the message to be sent there and may not be aware of the presence of this mail box. There are numerous purposes for making use of such forwarding. For example, if you've various e-mail addresses you're able to forward them all to a sole email address, which will make keeping track of emails easier and allows you to get e-mails and respond to them on time. The function could also be used if a number of individuals should receive a copy of an email message delivered to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, that comes with all the cloud hosting packages, will let you forward any e-mail address in the account to another one effortlessly. This can be done either throughout the creation of a new mailbox or any time later on in case you decide that you want this feature. During the process, you'll be able to consider if you prefer a duplicate of the email messages to be maintained on the server. In this way, you will have a backup and you will prevent the possibility to lose an e-mail message if the forwarding is to an external address, that is temporarily unavailable. This option can be activated and deactivated at any moment, though if you use e-mail for important matters, it is advisable to use it, because no records of the e-mails will be kept on the server if the option is not active. If you determine that you do not need forwarding anymore, it will take simply a mouse click to disable it.
