How To Forward Your Emails

If you have an e-mail account associated with your domain name, such as steve@yourdomain.com, you can set up an e-mail forwarder for that account. Meaning that any e-mails sent to steve@yourdomain.com will be automatically copied and sent off to any other e-mail addresses that you want, like steve@yahoo.com.

Here’s how to go about setting that up:

First log into your cPanel, the control panel for your hosting account. You’ll come to a screen that looks like the image below. Find the “forwarders” icon and click on it.

This will bring you to your main forwarders screen. If you have any forwarders already set up it will list them here. Otherwise it will show you a message that says “There are no forwarders configured for the current domain.”. Click on the “Add Forwarder” button.

The first step is to type in the beginning of your e-mail address into the first field. So if your e-mail is steve@yourdomain.com you would enter steve into the first field, while the drop down field next to it will complete the e-mail address.

After the “forward to email address” note fill in the address of the email account that you would like e-mails to be directed to. Then click the “Add Forwarder” button.

And you’re done! Note: you can set up as many forwarders as you wish.
