How to add an Email

Solution 1. Click Add Forwarder. (Cpanel>>Email>>Forwarders)

2. After Address to Forward, type the address whose email you wish to forward. Be sure to select the correct domain from the drop-down menu.

3. Select 1 of 5 options:
* Basic options:
o To forward mail, click Forward to email address and type the address to which mail should be forwarded.
o To discard incoming messages and automatically send a failure notice to the sender, click Discard with error to sender.
* Advanced options:
o To forward mail to a system user, click Forward to system user and type the appropriate username.
+ note Note about system users: This field will accept the username of any user on the server. The user can check this account using either a shell login, or by POP3/IMAP, using the authentication credentials he uses to access the cPanel interface or a shell prompt.
+ PICK Important: This account does not have a public-facing email address.
o To automatically forward messages to a program, define a path to the program (for example, /home/$utility) in the Pipe to a Program field.
o To discard incoming messages without sending a failure notice, click Discard (Not Recommended).
+ PICK Important: This option is not recommended, because the sender will be unaware that the delivery failed.

4. Click Add Forwarder.

PICK Important: If you wish to forward mail to another account without receiving mail at your cPanel account, simply create a forwarder from an address that does not have a corresponding account in cPanel. Alternatively, if the account already exists, you can delete it in cPanel. Afterward, all mail will be forwarded to the destination you have configured using the Forwarders feature.

If you do not delete the cPanel account whose mail is being forwarded, then both accounts will receive mail.
