How do I forward an e-mail address?

Updated on 3 November 2026

What is an e-mail forwarder? Forwarders let you send a copy of all mail from one e-mail address to another address.

For example, if you have two different accounts, email1@domain.com and email2@domain.com, you could forward everything sent to email1@domain.com to email2@domain.com so that you do not have to check both accounts.

Please note that mail sent to an e-mail address with a forwarder is still received at the original e-mail address, in addition to being forwarded to the new address.

If you do not want to receive e-mails at the original e-mail address, simply do not create the original e-mail account and create only the e-mail forwarder.

How do I set up an e-mail forwarder?

  1. Sign in to cPanel
  2. In the E-mail Management Tools section, click Aliases and Forwarders
  3. In the Email Account Forwarders section, click Add Forwarder
  4. In the Address to Forward field, enter the e-mail address whose mail will be forwarded
  5. In the Destination section, tick Forward to email address and enter the final e-mail address in that field
  6. Click the Add Forwarder button

These configuration pages can also be used to return an error message to the sender, to send the mail to a program (which can handle your e-mails, for example) or to delete the message permanently.
