How to create an email account forwarder

Forwarders allow you to send a copy of all mails from one email address to another. For example, if you have two different email accounts joe@tmdhosting.com and joseph@tmdhosting.com, you could forward joe@tmdhosting.com to joseph@tmdhosting.com so you do not need to check both accounts. Note that the mail for a forwarded email address will still be delivered to that address as well.

You can setup an email account forwarder via the Forwarders icon in your cPanel.



On the new page, please click on the Add Forwarder button. In the address to forward, please input the desired email account that should be forwarded and on the next field, please set the destination email address to which your emails should be forwarded. Then click on the Add forwarder button.



In addition to forwarding individual mail accounts, you can forward all email from one domain to another. Be advised that forwarding a domain's email will override the default address for that domain.

For example, if you set to have the domain example.com forwarded to the domain abc.com and email is received on admin@example.com it will be forwarded to admin@abc.com.

To add a domain forwarder, please click on the Add Domain Forwarder button on the bottom of the Forwarders page.
