Email Forwarding
Automatically forwarded messages are deleted from the server by the system after forwarding, even if the redirected email delivery fails.
To set up email forwarding, first create a new filter by following these steps:
- Log into the WebMail client.
- In the upper right corner, click Settings.
- In the left menu, select Filters.
- At the bottom of the Filters section, click the + button.
In the Filter definition form, fill in:
- Filter name: Choose any name by which you can easily identify the filter.
- For incoming mail: Check All messages.
- Execute the following actions: Select Redirect message to and enter the target email address.
Finish the setup by clicking the Save button.
Email Notification
If you only want to send an email notification about the new message instead of forwarding it, select the Send notification option instead of Redirect message to and set the notification email and other parameters.
Forwarding Options
You can extend basic forwarding with additional options, such as:
- Adding multiple email addresses to forward the email to.
- Saving forwarded messages.
Forward to Multiple Addresses
To set additional forwarding addresses, click the + button in the Execute the following actions section and add another Redirect message to action.
Save Forwarded Messages
By default, WebMail deletes forwarded messages. To keep them in your mailbox as a backup or for another purpose, follow these steps:
- Click the + button in the Execute the following actions section.
- Select the Copy message to action and select Inbox.
