Automatic forwarding mail

Automatic forwarding of mail, also known as mail forwarding or email forwarding, is a feature that allows you to redirect incoming emails from one email address to another. This can be useful in various situations, such as:

  1. Changing email addresses: When you switch to a new email address, you can forward your old email address to your new one to ensure you don't miss any important emails.
  2. Using a temporary email address: If you need to use a temporary email address for a specific purpose, you can forward emails from that address to your primary email address.
  3. Managing multiple email addresses: If you have multiple email addresses, you can forward emails from one address to another to keep all your emails in one place.
