How to forward email to Gmail, Yahoo or other e-mail service providers?

Email Account Forwarders:

Step 1: Login to your cPanel account.
Step 2: In the "Email" Section of your cPanel, click on "Forwarders" and then click on "Add Forwarders".

How to forward email to a mail pipe script/program?

Please note that this feature is only available on our shared hosting servers which handle both email hosting and web hosting. If your account is hosted on either the sh1 or sh2 shared hosting servers then this "pipe to a script" feature would not be available for your account.

1. If you want to forward your email to an e-mail pipe script like myemailpipe.php, which is located on your public html folder like "/home/username/public_html/myemailpipe.php", follow Step 2 and Step 3.

2. In the "Destination" field click on "Advanced Options" to expand them, select "Pipe to a Program" and enter the full path of your custom email pipe script such as "home/username/public_html/myemailpipe.php" (Without the quotes, and you may have noticed that we do not use a slash at the beginning of the url.)

3. Click on the "Add Forwarder" Button.
