How To Set And Manage Email Forwarders In cPanel?

Introduction

Configuring email forwarders in cPanel is a simple process that enables you to send mail that is addressed to one email account automatically to another. In the “Email” tab of your cPanel control panel, the “Forwarders” function makes it possible for you to set up rules indicating which email address should have its incoming mail forwarded to a given destination email address.

This is especially handy for grouping several email accounts together or generating professional-looking aliases for your main inbox, so you never miss a vital message.
