An email forward allows you to re-direct any email sent to one email address to another email address. This lets you use one account to check mail sent to several email addresses. You can also discard email or send (pipe) mail to a program.
To add an email forwarder
- Log in to cPanel. For your cPanel login details, please refer to your setup email. All customers with email hosting, or web hosting should have their cPanel login details in their setup email.
- Go to the "Email -> Fowarders" section of cPanel.
- If you have multiple domains, choose your domain.
- Click Add Forwarder.
- Enter the first part of the email address (before the @) in the "Address to Forward" section.
- In the Destination section, enter the email address you want to forward to
- Click Add Forwarder.
Important: If you wish to forward mail to another account, you should remove any email accounts with the same address. If you have both, mail will collect in the mailbox, and use up all of the space in your hosting. If you do not delete the email account whose mail is being forwarded, then both accounts will receive mail.
