Using email forwarders in cPanel allows you to automatically forward emails from one email address to another. This is useful if you want to redirect emails to a different account without having to check multiple inboxes. Here's how to set up an email forwarder in cPanel:
Steps to Create an Email Forwarder in cPanel
-
Log in to cPanel
-
Access your cPanel account using your credentials (e.g.,
https://yourdomain.com/cpanel).
-
-
Navigate to the Email Forwarders Section
-
In the cPanel dashboard, look for the Email section.
-
Click on Forwarders.
-
-
Add a New Forwarder
-
On the Forwarders page, click the Add Forwarder button.
-
-
Set Up the Forwarder
-
Address to Forward: Enter the email address you want to forward from (e.g.,
[email protected]). -
Destination: Enter the email address where you want the emails to be forwarded (e.g.,
[email protected]or existing email address of your domain). -
Click Add Forwarder to save the settings.
-
-
Verify the Forwarder
-
Once created, the forwarder will appear in the list of existing forwarders. You can edit or delete it as needed.
-
Additional Notes
-
Catch-All Forwarder: If you want to forward all emails sent to your domain (even to non-existent addresses), you can set up a catch-all forwarder in the same section.
-
Keep a Copy: By default, forwarded emails are not stored in the original inbox. If you want to keep a copy, you’ll need to configure this separately (e.g., using an email client or cPanel filters).
Troubleshooting
-
Emails Not Forwarding: Ensure the destination email address is correct and not blocking forwarded emails.
-
Spam Issues: Forwarded emails might end up in the spam folder of the destination account. Check spam filters if needed.
