# Email Forwarding in cPanel

Setting up an email forwarder is quite easy. Follow the step-by-step guide below:

#### Step 1: Log in to cPanel

* First, log in to your cPanel area and type **Forwarders** in the top right search bar.

#### Step 2: Access the Forwarders Page

* Once you have the Forwarders page open, you'll see several options:
  * **Managing**: View all forwarders set up for your domains or filter them by a specific domain.
  * **Add Forwarder**: Create a specific email account forwarder.
  * **Add Domain Forwarder**: Redirect incoming email for invalid addresses to another domain.

#### Step 3: Create an Email Forwarder

* To forward incoming emails from a specific account, use the **Add Forwarder** option. For example, to forward all incoming emails from `hello@domain.com` to `hello@gmail.com`, fill in the fields as follows:

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also choose additional options, such as:

* Discarding the email with a bounce-back error sent to the sender.

* Forwarding to a cPanel system account.

* Piping to a specific program.

* Discarding the emails completely.
  {% endhint %}

* Once the email forwarder is set up successfully, you will see a confirmation page.

#### Step 4: Set Up a Domain Forwarder

* If you wish to set up a domain forwarder, go back to the Forwarders main page and click **Add Domain Forwarder**.
* Select the domain from which you want to forward emails and the destination domain. For example, to set up a domain forwarder from `example.com` to `example2.com`, fill in the details and click **Add Domain Forwarder**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**: Domain forwarders only activate when the system cannot deliver an email to an existing address or autoresponder.

* If `johnny@example.com` exists, the email will not be forwarded to `example2.com`.
* If `johnny@example.com` does not exist, the email will be forwarded to `johnny@example2.com`.
  {% endhint %}

#### Step 5: Deleting Existing Forwarders

* To delete any existing forwarders, navigate to the Forwarders main page and click the delete button.

#### Conclusion

Setting up email forwarding can enhance your email management. If you encounter any issues, our support team is here to help!
