Forwarding emails
What you need to know
With "Forwarding" all incoming emails are forwarded to one or more email addresses. It can be set whether a copy of the email remains in their mailbox (urgent recommendation). This function can also be used as a supplement to the automatic out-of-office message, if, for example, only certain emails are to be forwarded.
Please note:
We explicitly advise against setting up and using permanent forwarding to private email addresses, as problems with third-party systems repeatedly occur. HFU mails can be used at any time with webmail (online) or common mail programs and apps, both online and offline.
The user is responsible for proper delivery (correct email address, accessibility of target server). The data center cannot provide support for technical problems of the third-party system, mailbox quota, RBL (e.g. typing error in the forwarding email address, no accessibility of the server, etc.).
Important:
We do not recommend setting up forwarding to MS domains (outlook.de, outlook.com, hotmail.de, hotmail.com as well as live.com and msn.com )!
