This article will describe how you can add or delete an e-mail forwarder.
Contents:
Create an e-mail forwarder that forwards e-mail to another e-mail address
To create an e-mail forwarder, you will first need to login to cPanel. Once logged in, navigate to Mail >> Forwarders.

Next, select Add Forwarder.

Next, complete the input fields for Address to Forward and Forward to email address.

Select Add Forwarder when you are done. NOTE:
You can set up an e-mail forwarder for an e-mail address that hasn't
been created. If you set up an e-mail forwarder for an e-mail address
that exists, both inboxes will receive all e-mail sent to the address.
You have now successfully created a forwarder for your e-mail.
