E-mail Forwarding
What's e-mail forwarding? How exactly does it work? In which occasions is it really useful?
The term email forwarding refers to an e-mail message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which is not listed as a recipient. For instance, a client sends an email from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they are involved, it is the single recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the message can be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer never meant the message to be sent there and might not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are different purposes for using such forwarding. For example, if you have a number of e-mail addresses you'll be able to forward them all to a one email address, which will make checking e-mails less complicated and will allow you to collect emails and respond to them promptly. The feature may also be used if a number of people should receive a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a general mailbox.
