A forward-only account is an account that does not store emails, but forwards all emails received to one or more specified email addresses. A forward-only account can be used to direct emails to the email address of people in a team or department, such that the members of the team get the email in their individual email box. For instance, Mercy and Tobi are members of the sales team, and [email protected] is created as a forward-only email account to forward all mails to Tobi and Mercy. When a mail is sent to [email protected], Tobi and Mercy will get the mail in their email boxes, without having to access [email protected] directly.
You can also set a forwarding address for just one user account if you want. By doing so, a copy of all emails sent to that user would be sent to the address you specify
How to create a forward-only email
- Log into the control panel of your email hosting account
- Go to Mail -> Add Forward Only Account
- Specify the email for the account, [email protected]
- Enter a list of email address to which you wish to forward all emails on this account.
- Click on Save.
