The term email forwarding refers to an email being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address that's not mentioned as a receiver. For instance, a client sends out an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the email could be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never intended the e-mail to be sent there and might not be aware about the presence of this mailbox. There are several purposes for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you've got a number of e-mail addresses it is easy to forward all of them to a sole mail box, which can make monitoring e-mails easier and will allow you to collect e-mails and respond to them in a timely manner. The feature may also be used if a number of people should receive a copy of an email message sent to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Web Hosting

It is very easy to configure forwarding for any email address configured in a web hosting account with our company. This can be accomplished either when you make a brand new email address in your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or at any time afterwards since the forwarding may be enabled and disabled for any existing mailbox with only a few clicks. It's also possible to choose if a backup of the inbound emails will be kept on our servers, a very helpful feature. This can be a fail-safe in case that the remote email address is not available for some reason, not mentioning that you will also have a backup of all of the emails. If this option is not enabled for a specific email on our end, an inbound e-mail will be received and sent forward, so absolutely no record of it will remain on the server. When the remote email address is inaccessible for the moment, you will lose this message.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will need a couple of clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the emails configured on our system to a third-party address. In the same area you will also be able to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the inbound e-mails are sent. You're able to enable or deactivate a forwarding account whenever you want and throughout the process you can also choose whether a backup of the emails has to be kept in our system or not. Although this option is not a must have, it is quite handy because you will get a backup copy of the messages on our end just in case that anything occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even if they've got a temporary issue, you run the risk of losing emails as the moment our system gets and forwards an e-mail message, nothing at all will be stored on our end if you haven’t selected a copy to be saved.
