What are Email Forwarders?

Email Forwarders allow you to create an email address automatically, sending incoming emails to another address. This feature is useful if you want to manage emails sent to several addresses without needing a separate account for each one. It also lets multiple email addresses receive the same email. You can set the server to delete certain emails or send them to a program for further processing.
