The term e-mail forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that isn't mentioned as a receiver. For instance, a client sends out an e-mail from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, this is the only receiver. If there's an active forwarding, the e-mail may be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer never meant the message to be sent there and might not be aware of the existence of this mailbox. There are various reasons for working with such forwarding. For instance, if you've got various email addresses you'll be able to forward each of them to a sole mail box, which can make checking email messages easier and allows you to collect messages and respond in a timely manner. The feature can also be used in case a number of individuals should get a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a general email address.
E-mail Forwarding in Hosting
If you have a hosting package with our company and you create an e-mail address in your account, you will be able to forward it with just a few clicks to any other address of your choice. The feature can be activated whenever you create a new email address or at any time afterwards and deactivated just as easily in case you change your mind. This can be done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you can handle your account. In addition, you will have the option to choose whether a copy of the incoming emails will remain on our servers or not. The advantage of this feature is that you will always have a copy on your server if anything occurs with the other email address or maybe if it's not active for whatever reason during the time an e-mail message is forwarded. When the feature not enabled, a message will be received, forwarded and erased from our system regardless of whether the remote email is functioning or not, so it is actually a wise decision to have it active just to be prepared.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting
For people with a semi-dedicated server through our company, you'll need a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the email addresses set up on our system to a third-party address. Inside the very same section you will additionally have the ability to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the incoming messages are going. You're able to activate or disable a forwarding account whenever you want and during the process you could also choose if a backup of the messages has to be kept in our system or not. Although this feature is not a necessity, it is quite valuable as you will have a copy of the emails on our end in case that something occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even when they've got only a momentary issue, you risk losing e-mail messages as the moment our server receives and forwards a message, nothing at all will be maintained on our end unless you chosen a copy to be stored.
