The term email forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that isn't listed as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends an e-mail from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, it is the only recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never intended the message to be sent there and may not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are several reasons for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you've several email addresses it is easy to forward them all to a single mailbox, which will make checking e-mails less difficult and allows you to receive e-mails and respond to them quickly. The function could also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an e mail message sent to a standard email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

It really is very easy to set up forwarding for every e-mail configured in a shared hosting account from us. This can be achieved either when you create a new mailbox through your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or whenever you want in the future since the forwarding may be enabled and deactivated for every existing mailbox with only a couple of clicks. It's also possible to choose if a backup copy of the inbound e-mails will be kept on our servers, which is a really helpful feature. This can be a fail-safe if the remote mailbox is not available for some reason, not mentioning you will have always a copy of all of the emails. When this option is not enabled for a given email address on our end, an inbound e-mail will be received and sent forward, so absolutely no record of it will remain on the server. If the remote email address is inaccessible for the moment, you will lose this e-mail.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server from us, it will take you simply a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the email addresses created on our end to a third-party e-mail address. Inside the same section you will additionally be able to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the inbound messages are going. You can enable or deactivate a forwarding account whenever you want and during the process you could also choose whether a backup of the e-mails should be maintained in our system or not. Even though this feature is not a must have, it is very helpful because you will get a backup copy of the messages on our end in the event that something occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even when they have just a temporary problem, you run the risk of losing e-mail messages as when our system receives and forwards an e-mail, absolutely nothing will be kept on our end unless you chosen a backup to be saved.
