Using a Forwarder Together with Your Mailbox

Important Note: This will assume that you have already enabled the Domain Name Package

To add mail forwarding service to your existing mail account (messages will be processed by anti-virus and spam filter, kept in your mailbox, and their copies will be forwarded to the specified address):

    1. Login to your Control Panel and click Mail Accounts.

    2. Click on the email address you want to work with.

    3. Click Redirect in the Tools group.

    4. Select the Redirect check box.

    5. Type the destination e-mail address to which you would like to forward e-mail.

    6. Click OK.

    Without a mailbox, you will not be able to apply anti-virus and spam filtering.

Important Note: You will need to clean up the contents of your mailbox from time to time: messages are not deleted automatically after forwarding.

Turning Your Existing Mail Account into a Mail Forwarder without Mailbox

To turn your mail account into a mail forwarder that will forward messages without keeping them on the server:

    1. Login to your Control Panel and click Mail Accounts.

    2. Click on the email address you want to work with.

    3. Click on Mailbox and uncheck the Mailbox option. Click OK.

    4. Click Redirect in the Tools group.

    5. Select the Redirect check box.

    6. Type the destination e-mail address to which you would like to forward e-mail.

    7. Click OK.

Important Note: This will only forward email to the destination email. No mail will be saved on the server
