How to Filter and Forward Your Email in Your C-panel
In your control panel you can do many things with your email account. The two things I will show you in this guide is how to Filter and Forward your email. By filtering your email you can sort the mail by categories or you can send certain ones to the junk folder. By putting filters on your email you will have full control on what you receive in your inbox. If you have a lot of email accounts, you can use a forwarder to forward all your accounts to one email account. That way you only have to check one email account to get all your mail. If you do have a lot of accounts and wish to send them to one account, the filter would work great for that. You could put each email in its own folder.
Forwarding Your Email
Step 1 – Login to your C-panel.
Step 2 – Click on the Mail Link.
Step 3 – On the Mail Manager Main Menu page click the link that says Forwarders.
Step 4 – At the bottom of the Forwarding Maintenance page click on the Add Forwarder link.
Step 5 – On the Add a new Forwarder page you will see a blank field, then a drop down list with your domain and sub-domains if you have them, and then you will see another blank field. In the first blank field, type in the name of the email address that you wish to forward. Then select the domain from the drop down list. So if your email is loveemail@yourdomain.com you would place loveemail in the first field. Then in the drop down box you would select yourdomain. In the last blank field type in your complete email address that you want loveemail@yourdomain.com forwarded too. For example, if you wanted it forwarded to mynewemail@mynewaddress.com you would type that entire address in the last field.
Step 6 – Click the Add Forwarder button.
The next page will tell you that you have successfully added the forwarder.
If have more than one email account that you want to forward, you will have to do steps 1-6 again.
