How to Setup Email Forwarding – Virtualmin

Setup email forwarding – Virtualmin or Webmin is an additional option that would help you receive the important email to a new email address for the following reasons:

1. Given access to two users. So both want to receive the email sent to the primary address.

2. Forgotten the existing mail address access or don’t know the mail id, you can transfer to the new mail address.

3. You may have some important emails or want to have a backup of all your emails. So if you use forward email and actual mail, it will be stored on both.

4. By using the email forward option, the storage for the email will get occupied less and disk space will not be exceeded.
