Email forwarding is the process of automatically forwarding mail sent to a particular email address to a different email address. You could forward mail from your domain to the email address you have with your current Internet access service provider.
Below is an example: Let's say that you have a dial-in access account with an Internet service provider with the email address of [email protected] if you had a domain name of yourcompany.com.au and an email address of [email protected].
Email forwards enable you to have email messages redirected to a specific email account. For example, you can set up the email account [email protected] to forward all messages to any email account, for example, [email protected]. These forwards can be added or deleted at any time.

Email forwarding is just like receiving mail at an old address, and the mailman forwards it to your new mailbox. You can set up email from [email protected] to go directly to your [email protected] account. This way, you only have to check one email account (mailbox) to receive all your mail.
Email forwards/aliases are email addresses configured such that all incoming emails to them are forwarded to other email address/addresses. A choice of forwarding/alias can be anything - corporate name, business department, additional nickname, misspellings, etc.
An email forward/alias can redirect all incoming emails to - one or more email accounts, mailing lists, or another email forwards/aliases.
Examples :
1. One of your employees - Mr. Jordan - has just left your organization. You now want to forward all email coming to Jordan to Ms. Grace. To do this, you can add [email protected] as an email forward/alias that redirects all incoming email to [email protected].
2. John's primary email address is [email protected]. You want all email coming to [email protected] to be redirected to [email protected] so that John doesn't need to check 2 different email accounts - you can just add an email forward/alias for the same.
3. You want a copy of all email coming to your sales department to go to each individual working in the sales dept, i.e., Emma, Ryan, and Evan, of which Ryan and Evan have email accounts at Gmail and Hotmail. To do this, you can add [email protected] as an email forward/alias that redirects a copy of all incoming email to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]
4. You want to receive a copy of all emails coming to David's email address without David knowing about the same - you can add an email forward/alias to David's email account such that a copy of all emails coming to [email protected] is also forwarded to your email address by the mail system.
