The term email forwarding describes a message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which is not listed as a receiver. For instance, a customer sends an email from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they are concerned, this is actually the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail can be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, even though the customer in no way meant the e-mail to be sent there and may not be aware about the presence of this mailbox. There are various reasons for working with such forwarding. For example, if you have many e-mail addresses it is possible to forward all of them to a sole mail box, which will make checking emails easier and will allow you to receive messages and respond to them in a timely manner. The function can also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e mail message delivered to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a cloud web hosting plan with us and you set up an e-mail address inside your account, you are able to forward it with no more than a couple of mouse clicks to any other address of your choosing. The option can be enabled when you create a new email address or at any time later and deactivated just as quickly in case you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you will control your account. You'll have the option to decide if a copy of the incoming e-mails will remain on our servers or not. The main advantage of this option is basically that you will always have a copy on your server if anything happens with the other mailbox or maybe if it's not active for whatever reason during the time an e-mail message is forwarded. When the option is not active, an email will be received, forwarded and deleted from our servers regardless of whether the remote e-mail is operating or not, so it is actually a wise decision to have it active just to be on the safe side.
