Forward email and set an out-of-office reply

1 minute readUpdated 19 Oct 2026

Forward email from one address to another, so you only have one inbox to check. Or set an automatic reply while you’re away.

Forward email to another address

  1. Open Forwarders

    Log in to cPanel, then go to Email › Forwarders and click Add Forwarder.

  2. Fill in the form

    In Address to Forward, type the part before the @, such as sales, and pick the domain. Under Destination, leave Forward to Email Address selected and type the address to send it to.

  3. Save

    Click Add Forwarder. From now on, a copy of every email sent to that address goes to the other one.

You don’t need a mailbox to forward.

A forwarder can be an address on its own, such as sales@ forwarding to your main mailbox. If there’s also a mailbox with that address, it keeps a copy too.

Set an out-of-office reply

  1. Open Autoresponders

    Log in to cPanel, then go to Email › Autoresponders and click Add Autoresponder.

  2. Choose the mailbox

    In Email, type the part before the @ and pick the domain.

  3. Write the reply

    Fill in From (your name), Subject and Body. Interval is how many hours to wait before replying to the same person again. 24 works for most people.

  4. Set the dates

    Under Start, choose Immediately or a date. Under Stop, choose Custom and pick your return date, so you don’t forget to turn it off.

  5. Save

    Click Create. To turn it off early, open Autoresponders and click Delete next to it.
