Email forwarders automatically redirect incoming mail from one address to another — either within your domain or to an external address.

​
Creating a Forwarder

1

Go to Mail

Log in to Plesk and click Mail in the left sidebar.
2

Open the Mailbox

Click on the email address you want to forward from.
3

Go to Forwarding

Click the Forwarding tab.
4

Enable Forwarding

Check Switch on mail forwarding and enter the destination address to forward mail to.
5

Save

Click OK to apply.
You can forward to multiple addresses by entering each one on a separate line.

​
Forwarding Without Keeping a Copy

By default, Plesk can store a copy in the local mailbox while also forwarding. If you do not want to retain a local copy, disable the mailbox storage option on the same settings page.

​
Forwarder-Only Address (No Mailbox)

If you want a forwarding address that does not have a mailbox at all (e.g. contact@example.com forwards to your personal Gmail), create the email address in Plesk, then disable the mailbox and enable forwarding as described above.
