Q. Can I forward my e-mail?
Yes. You can always forward your e-mail to wherever you would
like. If you already have a preexisting account like at yahoo,
gmail, or aol, you can have your e-mails from your new website
forwarded to your other e-mail.
Email forwarding allows you to maintain a professional email
address while still using your personal email address. If you
just registered abcxyz.com, there is a good chance you would
like to receive email at an address containing your domain name.
Email forwarding allows you to do just that by sending all email
sent to specific abcxyz.com accounts (user1@abcxyz.com, user2@abcxyz.com,
and user3@abcxyz.com) to existing email accounts you specify.
Email forwarding also eliminates the hassle of telling everyone
you know that you've changed your email address.
A Warning: When forwarding mail once it has come into our
servers we have control over it. We back it up. We save it. And
we deliver it to your local mail box POP3 account. However if
you have a forward that process doesn’t happen, once your mail
comes into our servers it is immediately sent out again. This
makes it impossible for us to insure the delivery of your mail.
This is because the SPAM policies and e-mail settings on other
servers are not all uniform. Therefore they may see the mail
coming from our server as spam because it is being forwarded. We
have gone to great lengths to talk to these third party e-mail
providers and get this problem resolved. At this point there are
limited resolutions. Although nine times out of ten you will
receive all forwarded mail this warning is something to consider
when electing to have your e-mail forwarded.
There are three different options with forwarding:
Option 1:
You can have your mail forwarded to another account.
(There is no mail delivery guarantee.)
Option 2:
You can have your mail delivered to your local pop3 account and
forwarded to your other e-mail, thus insuring that the
previously discussed issue is solved because if you ever suspect
your mail to be missing you can just log into our server and
check it.
Contingency:
This is contingent upon regular upkeep of your account as you do
have 50MB but that often fills very quickly when you have
attachments; and when it does it will stop collecting your mail
thus defeating the purpose.
Option 3:
Another type of forwarding is called a catch-all: This is for
advanced users. A catch all is just as it sounds, it catches all
e-mail sent to your domain for example it will catch everything
sent to exampleforward.com
Disadvantage of a catch-all:
As a result though you will find yourself receiving an
awful amount of spam. As spammers generally have programs that
send messages to every name in the dictionary as a result since
you have a catch all it will appear as though you have all those
names and it WILL be delivered to you.
Advantage of a catch-all:
The advantage of a catch all is that if anyone ever spells your
name wrong in your e-mail or if you have a lot of employees at
your company you can insure that any misspellings in e-mail
accounts are still received but that will require a lot
of time sorting through spam.
