When you've got an e-mail and you activate forwarding for it, all of the inbound emails will be sent to a third-party mailbox of your choosing. The email sender won't be aware of this and he will be sending the message to the first address. This kind of function is useful if you have numerous Internet sites, each with a unique e-mail address for contact, for example. By forwarding all messages to one particular e-mail address, it will be easier for you to keep a record and not neglect an e-mail because you have overlooked to check a particular email address. If you have a company, you are able to employ this function to watch the e-mails received by different departments. An additional advantage is that it is possible to use an official address for various purposes, let’s say admin@your-domain.com, and you can get all of the e-mail messages sent to it in your private email address. In addition, you can forward messages from a single email address to a number of ones, in case a number of individuals should be involved in the email conversation.
E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Hosting
In case you have a cloud hosting plan with us and you set up an email address in your account, you will be able to forward it with only a couple of mouse clicks to any other e-mail address of your choosing. The option can be activated when you make a brand new email address or whenever you want later on and deactivated just as easily in case you change your mind. This is done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you will manage your account. You'll have the option to choose if a backup of the incoming emails will stay on our servers or not. The main benefit of this option is basically that you will always have a copy on your end if anything happens with the other email address or if perhaps it's not active for whatever reason during the time an e-mail is forwarded. If the option is not enabled, a message will be received, forwarded and deleted from our servers even if the remote e-mail address is operating or not, so it is usually a good idea to have it enabled just to be prepared.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting
For people with a semi-dedicated server from us, it will take just a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager area of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the emails configured on our end to a third-party e-mail address. In the exact same section you will also have the ability to observe how many of your email addresses are forwarded and exactly where the incoming e-mails are going. You can enable or disable a forwarding account whenever you want and throughout the process you could also decide whether a backup copy of the emails should be kept on our servers or not. Even though this feature is not a requirement, it is valuable because you will get a backup of the emails on our end in the event that something happens with the third-party email address. Even if they have a short-term problem, you run the risk of losing e-mails as once our server receives and forwards an email, nothing will be stored on our end unless you chosen a backup to be kept.
