WHERE TO GO IN YOUR ACCOUNTKnox > My services > Email hosting > Forwarders
BEFORE YOU START

Get the right details ready

Have the full mailbox address and its mailbox password ready. The password may be different from your Knox account password.

Security first. Never include account passwords, card details or authentication codes in a support ticket.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Make the change in Knox

Work through each step in order. Keep this guide open in another tab if that is easier.

  1. 1

    Open Email hosting and select the Forwarders tab.

  2. 2

    Choose Add forwarder.

  3. 3

    Enter the source address and destination address.

  4. 4

    Save the rule and test it with a new message.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Check that it worked

The source and destination appear in the forwarder list. A newly received test message should be relayed.

IF IT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT

Try this before contacting support

Test with a new external message; messages already in a mailbox are not forwarded retrospectively.
