The term email forwarding describes an e-mail being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address that's not mentioned as a receiver. For example, a client sends an email from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they're involved, it is the single receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the message might be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way intended the email to be sent there and may not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are various purposes for applying such forwarding. For instance, if you've got a number of emails you're able to forward all of them to a single email address, which can make checking emails less difficult and will permit you to receive messages and respond on time. The function may also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a standard email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Hosting

It is very easy to set up forwarding for virtually every email address set up inside a hosting account from our company. This can be accomplished either when you create a brand new e-mail address using your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or whenever you want in the future because the forwarding may be enabled and disabled for any existing mailbox with only a couple of clicks. It is also possible to decide if a copy of the inbound e-mails will be maintained on our servers, which is a very valuable feature. This can be a fail-safe in case that the remote mailbox is not available for whatever cause, not mentioning you will also have a backup of all your emails. When this option is not activated for a given email address on our end, an incoming e-mail will be received and sent forward, so no record of it will stay on our server. When the remote email address is down temporarily, you will simply lose this e-mail.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server through us, it will take a couple of clicks inside the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the email addresses configured on our server to a third-party address. Inside the very same section you will also have the ability to observe how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and where the inbound messages are going. You're able to activate or disable a forwarding account at any time and during the process you may also choose whether a backup of the email messages has to be kept on our servers or not. Although this option isn't a requirement, it is quite helpful as you will get a backup of the emails on our end in case that something happens with the third-party mailbox. Even if they have just a temporary problem, you risk losing email messages as the moment our server gets and forwards an e-mail, absolutely nothing will be maintained on our end if you haven’t selected a backup to be stored.
