Setting up email forwarding in cPanel allows you to automatically send copies of emails from one address to another. This is useful if you want to consolidate emails from multiple addresses into a single inbox or forward emails from a domain-specific address to your personal email account. cPanel provides a simple interface to configure email forwarding without the need for any complex setup.
In cPanel, email forwarders can be created for individual email addresses or for an entire domain. You can set up a forwarder for a specific email account, or create a domain-wide forwarder to send all emails to another address. This ensures that important messages are forwarded seamlessly, even if you are not directly checking the original inbox.
It’s important to note that email forwarders do not store copies of emails unless configured to do so. If you need to keep a copy in the original inbox, make sure to adjust the mailbox settings or create appropriate rules.
Steps to configure email forwarding in cPanel:
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- Navigate to the Email section.
- Click on Forwarders.
- Click on Add Forwarder.
- Enter the email address you want to forward from in the Address to Forward field.
You can also create domain-wide forwarders by choosing the Add Domain Forwarder option in the Forwarders interface.
- Enter the destination email address where you want the emails to be forwarded in the Forward to Email Address field.
- Click Add Forwarder to save the changes.
