Email Account Forwarders:

Your email account forwarders are set up in your cPanel account. Your cPanel is basically your 'back-office' where you have access to all your server-side settings:

 

If you are unfamiliar with how to navigate to this cPanel, we would recommend that you go through steps 1 to 4 as outlined in this article, then come back to this one.

 

Having gone through the article referred to above, here is how you can now set up your email forwarding.



Step 1: Login to your cPanel account.


Step 2: In the "Email" Section of your cPanel, click on "Forwarders" and then click on "Add Forwarders".


 

Step 3: On the "Add a New Forwarder" page you will see the "Address to forward:" field. If you want to forward your [email protected] to your custom e-mail address, enter "myemail" (without the quotes) in the "Address to forward" field, and should you have multiple domains, select the appropriate one from the domain drop-down list.

Step 4: From the "Destination" field select "Forward to email address" and enter your custom e-mail address on which you want to receive forwarded emails.



Final Step: Click on the "Add Forwarder" Button.
