Customizing Your Domain Email Account Forwarding Options

Email forwarding refers to the re-sending of an email message delivered to one email address to a different email address. Simply put, it is the redirecting of email messages.

All domain email accounts you create with Doteasy come with email forwarding. You can customize the forwarding options from both your Doteasy admin panel, as well as from the individual email account’s webmail dashboard.
