Email forwarding allows you to automatically send copies of incoming emails from one address to another. For example, you can forward info@yourdomain.com to your personal Gmail account.

How to Create an Email Forwarder:

  1. Log in to your cPanel.

  2. In the "Email" section, click on "Forwarders."

  3. Click the "Add Forwarder" button.

  4. Configure the Forwarder:

    • Address to Forward: Select the domain from the dropdown and enter the prefix (e.g., if you want to forward info@, type "info").

    • Destination:

      • "Forward to email address" : Enter the external email address (e.g., yourname@gmail.com).

      • (Optional) "Discard and send an error to the sender (disable address)" : Use this if you want to delete emails sent to that address.

  5. Click "Add Forwarder."

Important: If you forward to an external address, replying from that external address will show the external address, not your original info@ address, unless you configure your external client to send "as" the original address (see Article 64).
