Forwarder

In cPanel, you can create many email accounts. But if you have too many, it’s hard to open each one just to check messages.

With an Email Forwarder, you can set things so that:

• Emails from one account automatically go to another account.
• This way, you only need to open one inbox to see all your emails.
• You can also choose to delete emails, send them to a program, or even forward all emails from one domain to another domain.

---

Example:

Suppose you have these email IDs:

• info@tutorialspoint.com
• admin@tutorialspoint.com
• support@tutorialspoint.com

Instead of checking all three inboxes, you can forward admin and support to info@tutorialspoint.com.

Now you only log in to info@tutorialspoint.com to see all emails.
