How to automatically delete email after it is forwarded?

[risingsuns]

Hello,
I have a few email-forwards set up for a client that I would like to "set and forget". In other words, I would like the email automatically be deleted after it is forwarded, so it does not collect in the in-box.

I was curious if there is a way to set this up.

Thank you in advance.

What type of configuration are you looking to do this on, our shared hosting platform?

[risingsuns]

Yes, the shared platform with H-Sphere.

The closest option I can find is a "discard all incoming mail", but I am not sure if the forward will still work with this option checked.

Thank you.

I too was wondering about this. I use a main email that receives forwards from the other addresses. By doing that I can kill any secondary email when some company decides to send me spam and not have my main address compromised. It would be great if we had an option to delete old emails after they are forwarded. Or even better, to have them moved out the Inbox and deleted after a certain time. That way there would be a safety period in case the forwarding fails for some reason.

Can't you just set it to forward and not create a mailbox for it, pretty sure that's what I do.

Yes, if you want to forward the messages and do not want them stored, simply uncheck the box next to "mailbox" Each of those features can be enabled separately.

Perfect. Thank you!

I wrote an email from my yahoo email account and sent to the wrong email address in Europe. Is it any way that I can retrieve the email I sent from the wrong email address, delete it before the wrong recipient can read my email?

Sorry Marry, but once the email is sent from your mail server there is no way to retrieve it.

hello friends
I am Harris Anderson and i am here 1st time regarding the topic i would suggest that When a forwarder is added for a domain email address, all email received will be forwarded to the specified email address. However, if users have created an email account first before setting up a forwarder, the forwarder may not function properly and worse, the email account will still receive a copy of the email message, wasting precious storage space on the hosting server. The emails stored won’t be auto deleted or removed.
