.TR E-MAIL FORWARDING

E-mail forwarding is the redirecting of all messages received by a certain e-mail address to another e-mail address. There are two types this process.

1. The forwarding of copies of all messages received by an e-mail address. For example, a copy of the e-mails received by your info@domainname.com.tr address will also be forwarded to your info@domainname.com. at your request. In this way, you can display the e-mails in both e-mail accounts.
2. Another one is the redirecting of all messages to another e-mail account without displaying them in the first e-mail account. For example, an e-mail sent to your info@domainname.com.tr address will immediately be redirected to your info2@abc.com.tr address at your request. In this way, received messages will only be displayed in your second account.
