Emails received by your domain are not always directed to existing email addresses. Messages sent to invalid or non-existent addresses typically get forwarded to the default address. With cPanel, you can set a default address to receive such emails and define how they are handled.

An email forwarder allows you to send a copy of all emails from one address to another. This feature is handy when you have multiple addresses but only want to check one of them.

Step #1: Add the Destination IMAP Account in Your Mail Client

If you use only Webmail or a mobile device to access your destination email account, or if you currently use POP3 for the account (learn more about the difference in account types at IMAP vs. POP3 Email), you will need to set it up in a desktop email client using IMAP in order to sync the messages. If you already have your destination email account (to which you’ll be transferring the emails) configured locally using IMAP in Thunderbird, Outlook, or Apple Mail, you can skip this step and proceed to Step #2.
