An email forwarder is a feature that automatically redirects incoming emails from one email address to another. This means that any email sent to your original email address is instantly forwarded to another address of your choice.
Why Use an Email Forwarder?
Email forwarders are useful in many situations, such as:
-
Managing Multiple Emails – Instead of checking several inboxes, you can forward all emails to one central account.
-
Team Collaboration – Forward emails sent to a generic address (e.g.,
support@yourdomain.com) to multiple team members. -
Personal Convenience – Forward work emails to your personal inbox to stay updated without logging into multiple accounts.
How Does an Email Forwarder Work?
-
Someone sends an email to
info@yourdomain.com. -
Instead of storing the email, the server automatically redirects it to
yourname@gmail.com(or another specified email). -
The recipient (
yourname@gmail.com) receives the email as if it was sent directly to them.
Key Features of Email Forwarders
-
No Inbox Storage – Forwarded emails do not stay in the original inbox unless you enable this setting.
-
Unlimited Forwarding – You can forward emails to one or multiple recipients.
-
No Additional Logins – You don’t need to check multiple accounts, as everything arrives in one inbox.

Important Notes
-
Email forwarders do not allow you to send emails from the forwarded address. You’ll need to set up SMTP settings in your email client for that.
-
Some email providers (like Gmail) may filter forwarded emails as spam. Make sure to whitelist the sender if necessary.
That’s it! If you need further assistance, feel free to contact our support team.
