How do I create an email forwarder?

An email forwarding account works like a normal email account except instead of having a mailbox, the email account will automatically forward to the specified email address.

To set this up, login to cPanel and click on Forwarders under Email and then click on Add Forwarder. On this screen, enter the email address you would like to forward all email from. Then enter the email you would like to forward all email to. Then click on Add Forwarder.

You can forward to any other email address you would like - it can be a third-party email account or even another email address within your account. Please keep in mind that the forwarder will forward everything, including spam.

If you want to temporarily forward email, you can create an email forwarder with a mailbox. If both a mailbox and a forwarder exists, the message will be delivered to the mailbox as well as be forwarded. Remember to login to cPanel and delete the forwarding rule when it is no longer required.
