Forward Existing Email Account and Don't Retain

[jazee]

It looks to me that the email forwarder when you forward and existing email account, it says it will "copy" the email to the forward address. I don't want to delete the email account and lose all the pre-existing mail, but I want to forward all future email for a while. I don't want to have duplicate email on both accounts. It's okay that no new email is retained on the original account while it is being forwarded.

Hello @jazee,

Rather than setting up a forwarder, you could utilize the "Email Filters" option in cPanel after creating the email account:

Email Filters - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Setup a rule to redirect the email sent to the first address, and then have the additional rule discard the message. This document helps to explain how filter rules work:

Thank you.
