How Do I Set Up Email Forwarding in Plesk?

Forwarding sends messages that arrive at one email address on to another address as well. For example, you can forward email for info@yourdomain.com to your personal Gmail address.

Step by step

1. Log in to your Plesk panel at https://yourdomain.com:8443.
2. Click Mail in the left menu and click the address you want to forward.
3. Open the Forwarding tab and tick Switch on mail forwarding.
4. Enter the address email should go to. For several addresses, write one per line.
5. Click OK.

Should a copy stay in the mailbox?

If the address has a mailbox, incoming email is both kept there and forwarded. If you only want forwarding, switch off the Mailbox option on the General tab.

Note: Forwarding to external addresses such as Gmail also forwards spam, and the receiving server may reject it. Where possible, add the account to Gmail with IMAP/POP3 instead of forwarding.
