Learn how to forward emails in cPanel to manage messages more efficiently and simplify email checking.
This guide explains the steps to configure email forwarding so that all messages sent to one email address are automatically forwarded to another address.
What is Email Forwarding?
The email forwarding feature in cPanel allows you to send a copy of all emails from one address to another. For example, if you have two email accounts, contact@domain.com and info@domain.com, you can forward emails received at contact@domain.com to info@domain.com. This way, you won’t need to check both accounts, and messages will also remain in the original account.
Step 1: Access the “Forwarders” Section in cPanel
To get started, log in to cPanel and navigate to the Email section. Select the Forwarders option to open the email forwarding settings.
Step 2: Create a Forwarder
In the “Forwarders” section, click on the “Add Forwarder” button to set up a new forwarder.
Step 3: Specify the Forwarding Address
Fill in the following details:
- Source Address: Enter the email address from which you want to forward messages.
- Destination Address: Specify the email address to which you want emails forwarded.
Step 4: Finalize the Forwarding Setup
After completing the details, click on “Add Forwarder” to save the settings. Emails sent to the original address will now be automatically forwarded to the specified destination address.
Important Notes about Email Forwarding
Keep in mind that forwarded emails will also be delivered to the original address, ensuring all messages are retained. This is a convenient way to centralize emails from multiple accounts into one location.
You now have everything you need to configure email forwarding in cPanel. Follow the step-by-step instructions and use the screenshots to quickly and efficiently set up this useful feature.
