Email Forwarding


Please explain what is Email Forwarding and Email Aliases?

To answer this question, this is better to take an example. Assume that:
  • your ISP is ABC. You have email adress from your ISP - alex9876@ABC.com
  • Now you register a domain, MyDomain.com

With our free Email Forwarding, all email addresses (unlimited) under your domain, for example:

support@MyDomain.com
sales@MyDomain.com
account@MyDomain.com
............................
............................
.... etc..................

can be sent (forwarded) to your email address (alex9876@ABC.com).

This way, if you change your existing ISP email to other ISP email (example: alex2323@AOL.com), you do not need to inform your clients or friends! Because, you just forward all emails under your domain to your new ISP email address (alex2323@AOL.com).

What is the difference between 'Email Aliases' and POP3 email account?


Actually, POP3 is an email box that can save your emails. While Email Aliases are only a pointer that forward emails to POP3 mail box. Therefore Email Aliases are sometimes called Email Forwarding.

You can use a single POP3 email account to receive emails from different email aliases. For example: in order to increase the image of your company, you can use 6 email aliases to serve your clients. Actually, you are using only 2 staff (peter and john) and 2 POP3 email accounts to handle all services for your clients.

The following table explain the whole situation:

Email AliasesPOP3 Email Account(Receive Emails Account
enquiry@MyName.competer@MyName.com
sales@MyName.competer@MyName.com
marketing@MyName.competer@MyName.com
service@MyName.comjohn@MyName.com
support@MyName.comjohn@MyName.com
repair@MyName.comjohn@MyName.com

Then all emails send to enquiry@MyName.com, sales@MyName.com and marketing@MyName.com will be received by peter@MyName.com (POP3 email account)

And all emails send to service@MyName.com, support@MyName.com and repair@MyName.com will be received by john@MyName.com (POP3 email account).
