The term email forwarding describes an email message being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address that isn't mentioned as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends out an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're concerned, this is actually the only receiver. When there is an active forwarding, the message might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware of the existence of this mail box. There are numerous purposes for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you've a number of email addresses you can forward them all to a single email address, which can make keeping track of e-mails less difficult and will permit you to collect e-mails and respond on time. The feature may also be used if a number of people should receive a copy of an e mail message delivered to a general mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, that comes with all of the web hosting packages, will help you to forward any e-mail address inside the account to a different one without any difficulty. You can do this either throughout the creation of a new mailbox or any time later on if you decide that you need this feature. During the process, you'll be able to decide if you need a copy of the e-mails to be maintained on the server. This way, you'll have a backup and you will steer clear of the possibility to lose an e-mail message if the forwarding is to an exterior address, that is temporarily inaccessible. This option can be enabled and deactivated at any time, though if you use e-mail for crucial matters, it is best to use it, as no data of the email messages are maintained on the server if the option is not enabled. If you decide that you don't need forwarding any more, it will take just a mouse click to disable it.

The aforementioned feature is optional, however rather handy since you will have a backup of your inbound emails, so whether or not something happens with the other email address, you won't lose any info.
