The term e-mail forwarding refers to an email message being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address that isn't listed as a recipient. For example, a client sends out an e-mail from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they are involved, it is the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the email can be sent to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer in no way meant the e-mail to be sent there and might not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are several reasons for making use of such forwarding. For example, if you've got various email addresses it is possible to forward all of them to a sole mail box, which can make monitoring emails simpler and will permit you to collect e-mails and respond to them timely. The function may also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an email message sent to a general mailbox.
E-mail Forwarding in Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with all the website hosting packages, will help you to forward any e-mail in the account to another one without any difficulty. You can do this either throughout the creation of a brand new email address or at any time later in case you decide that you require this function. During the process, you'll be able to consider if you need a copy of the email messages to be maintained on the server. This way, you'll have a backup and you will prevent the possibility to lose a message if the forwarding is to an outside address, that is momentarily inaccessible. This option can be enabled and disabled at any moment, and when you use emails for crucial matters, it is best to use it, because no records of the emails are kept on the server when the option is not enabled. If you decide that you don't need forwarding any more, it takes a mouse click to deactivate it.
