The term email forwarding refers to an email being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address which is not mentioned as a recipient. For example, a client sends out an e-mail from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, it is the single receiver. If there's an active forwarding, the email might be forwarded 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 mailbox. There are various purposes for using such forwarding. For example, if you have several email addresses it is possible to forward all of them to a sole mail box, which will make checking emails simpler and will permit you to receive e-mails and respond to them in a timely manner. The function can also be used if a number of individuals should receive a copy of an email message delivered to a standard email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, that comes with all the shared hosting packages, will let you forward any e-mail address in the account to a second one without any difficulty. This can be done either during the creation of a new mailbox or whenever you want later on in case you choose that you will need this function. During the process, you are able to decide if you prefer a backup of the email messages to be maintained on the server. This way, you'll have a backup and you'll prevent the probability to lose a message if the forwarding is to an outside address, which is briefly unavailable. This option can be enabled and disabled whenever you want, though if you use emails for essential matters, it is advisable to use it, because no records of the email messages are kept on the server when the option is not enabled. In case you determine that you don't need forwarding any longer, it takes only a mouse click to disable it.

This option can be enabled and deactivated whenever you want and you can now additionally select if a backup of the incoming emails ought to be maintained on our servers or not. Though this feature is not required, it could be more convenient if you make the most of it, because you will have a backup of your emails if there's any kind of issue with the remote mail server. Even when there is a temporary problem and no email messages are lost on our end, you might still not receive a forwarded message in case it was relayed by our servers throughout the downtime.
