How to setup email forwarding in cPanel

To create an email forwarding in cPanel, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Log into your cPanel, navigate to section Mail > Forwarders
  2. To create new forwarding rule, click on Add Forwarder
  3. Fill out the fields and when ready click on Add Forwarder

NOTE: you can forward emails sent to non-existent mailbox without having to create the mailbox itself.

If you would like to setup catch-all, you can use Default Address menu:

The default email address will “catch” any mail that is sent to an invalid email address for your domain.

So if you would like all email sent to @domain.com to be forwarded to existing mailbox test@domain.com.


There you go! You should now be able to setup any email forwarding services.
