What is Email forwarding?


Email is one of the greatest inventions on the internet. Its makes us easy to stay connected with people and organizations with whom we are unable to stay in touch physically. Email address also helps to store our valuable contacts and information in case we lost the hard copy of it. But what if we want to change our email, simply because our email address is boring or hard to remember we will lose contacts with all the people who do not know i have changed my email. Well  a solution for this problem is Email forwarding.

What is Email Forwarding?

Email forward works simply like call forward on on cell phones, if you are familiar with it. What it actually does, it forwards all the new incoming emails to another email address. So even after shifting to a new email address you will still get the emails on your new email address that are received on your old email address.
e.g
You have a Email addresses example1@domain.com but for some reason you have to shift to another email address that is example2@domain.com. Now you want to stay updated with all the incoming emails of you old email address on your new email address. So for that email forwarding is used. Every new email that is sent on your old email address will be forwarded automatically to you new email address. In case somebody don't know that you have changed your email address i.e company coupons etc.

I have also wrote a guide on How to setup Email forward in Gmail. check it out.
