The term e-mail forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address that is not listed as a recipient. For instance, a client sends out an email from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, this is the single receiver. If there's an active forwarding, the email could be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way meant the email to be sent there and may not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are various purposes for using such forwarding. For instance, if you have many emails it is easy to forward all of them to a sole email address, which will make checking e-mails less complicated and allows you to get e-mails and respond promptly. The function could also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an electronic message delivered to a standard mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting package with our company and you set up e-mail addresses inside your account, you will be able to forward it with no more than a few mouse clicks to another e-mail address of your preference. The feature can be activated whenever you make a new mailbox or at any time later on and deactivated just as quickly in case you change your mind. This is done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you will control your account. You will also have the option to decide whether a duplicate of the inbound emails will stay on our servers or not. The main benefit of this option is basically that you will always have a copy on your server if something happens with the other email address or maybe if it isn't active for some reason at the time an email is forwarded. In case the option is not enabled, an e-mail will be received, forwarded and erased from our system even if the remote e-mail is functioning or not, so it might be a good idea to have it enabled just to be prepared.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server through us, it will take just a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager area of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the email addresses created on our system to a third-party address. In the same section you will additionally be able to observe how many of your email addresses are forwarded and where the incoming e-mails are going. You can enable or deactivate a forwarding account at any moment and throughout the process you may as well choose if a copy of the e-mails needs to be kept on our servers or not. Although this option isn't a must have, it is very valuable because you will get a copy of the emails on our end in case that something occurs with the third-party email address. Even when they have just a temporary issue, you risk losing email messages as once our system receives and forwards a message, nothing at all will be kept on our end unless you selected a copy to be stored.
