Please help With EMAIL Forwarding

[werty]

Hey Guys,

Please help me here.

Let's suppose that I have 3 private email addresses on 3 different domain names. Here are just some theoretical examples:

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Is it possible I can setup my two "mail" domains email addresses so that all messages go automatically to my main one. I just figured that it will make things a lot easier for me if I could check all my mail in one place instead of going to 3 different email accounts.

Any help guys? Thanks
All 3 domains are in godaddy.

:P:P

Yes, you can set up email forwarding from the godaddy email control panel.

You can also set up wild card addresses so any address from domain.com will forward to a central location.
eg. [email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Of course this is possible. There should be an option called "email forwarding" or something like that in the godaddy menu. If you don't see that option you need to use godaddy nameservers.

Instead forwarding two of them to the third it would be better to forward them all to a gmail account. Gmail will let you answer with the same email the message was send to. *

Let's say you received an email to [email protected]. When you click reply you will be sending an email as [email protected] and not as your gmail name. Similarly when you receive and email to [email protected] you will reply to it as [email protected] with your gmail.

1. first create a gmail account if you don't already have on.
2. then go to godaddy and set email forwarding to your gmail email.
3. then go to your gmail account and on top click "settings/accounts/Add another email address you own" and follow steps.
The approval email will be send to your [email protected] email but because you have already set this to forward to your gmail account you will receive this in your gmail. In other words the approval email send by your gmail account will arrive again in the same gmail account.

*edit: I just noticed that you can't actually do this without purchasing email hosting from godaddy. So your best bet is to forward them all to gmail. I do the same thing (at namecheap) and it works great.

You need to keep the domains nameservers are with the registrar (namecheap or godaddy or whatever) for the emails to work. If you want to park the domain at the same time you can do so with url forwarding. Many parking providers let you park via urf forwarding as well. So you can do email forwarding and url forwarding for free if the domain uses the registrars nameservers.

Namecheap has some videos on this page that show you how to do email forwarding including catch all (for misspelled or unexistent emails that are received by the domain you you own).
