The term e-mail forwarding describes an email message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which isn't listed as a recipient. For instance, a client sends out an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, it is the only recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the email could be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, even though the customer never meant the e-mail to be sent there and might not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are numerous purposes for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you have several e-mail addresses you're able to forward all of them to a sole email address, which will make checking e-mails easier and will allow you to get emails and respond to them timely. The function can also be used in case a number of people should receive a copy of an electronic message delivered to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Hosting

It is really simple to create forwarding for any email address set up in a cloud hosting account with us. This can be done either while you create a new mailbox through your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or any time in the future since the forwarding may be activated and deactivated for every current mailbox with just a few mouse clicks. It's also possible to decide if a backup of the inbound messages will be maintained on our servers, a very valuable option. This will be a fail-safe whenever the remote email address is not available for whatever cause, not mentioning you will have always a backup of all your e-mails. When this feature is not enabled for a given email on our end, an inbound message will be received and sent forward, so absolutely no record of it will stay on the server. When the remote mailbox is inaccessible temporarily, you will simply lose this email.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server through us, you'll need simply a couple of mouse clicks inside the Email Manager area of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the emails created on our server to a third-party e-mail address. Inside the same section you will additionally be able to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the incoming messages are sent. You're able to enable or disable a forwarding account at any time and during the process you could also choose whether a backup of the emails needs to be kept on our servers or not. Although this option is not a necessity, it is very useful since you will get a backup copy of the emails on our end just in case that anything happens with the third-party mailbox. Even when they've got simply a short-term problem, you risk losing e-mails as when our server gets and forwards an email, absolutely nothing will be maintained on our end unless you selected a copy to be saved.
