You can setup an email account to forward copies of incoming email to another email address. For example, if you have two or more email accounts, you can read all your email from just one mail box, instead of going to each box separately.
Remember, the mail that is forwarded is only a copy of the original, so your email account must still be managed, or it will fill up and max out. If it does that, it will quit receiving email since it has no more space. There are two ways to prevent that from happening:
-
Delete the forwarded email account from cPanel if you do not want to receive mail at that box
-
Setup An Email Client on your computer (see Knowledgebase Article: Setting Up An Email Client On Your Computer).
- To setup an email forward, follow these steps:
- Click Services from the Main Menu on your Personal Account
- Click My Services on the dropdown menu
- Locate the domain for the email that you want to forward
- Click the Hosting Plan associated with the domain
- Click Forwarders on the Quick Shortcuts module
- Enter a keyword in the Search box to find a specific email address
- Click Go
- Click Add Forwarder
- Enter the address for which you want to forward in the Address to Forward text box
- Select the desired domain from the dropdown menu
- Select the desired option for forwarding your email
- Click Add Forwarder
