    Can you please explain it once again. Iam sorry I could not follow what you mean? One way of redirecting Email is by choosing forward option .

    Yes, but how do you do it. Like for example when someone sends me an email to my sites address it fowards it to my gmail account.

    How are you hosting your site at engineerpress.com?

    If it's with someone like 1&1 or Fasthosts etc, then simply log into your account and click the email logo or button.
    You will be able to forward mail from your to any email address you specify.

    CDD is right if you have your site hosted with an account you can go into your account and setup the forward email option - its very easy.

    Also take a look at using https://www.google.com/hosted/ for your site emails.

    Are you using namecheap for hosting your pages?

    I see they have unlimited email forwards for the hosting plans but nothing is mentioned on their online help on how to configure.

    It really should be as simple as logging into your control panel and going into the email options. Send the namecheap support an email asking where the email forward option is.

    If you dont use their hosting then its nothing to do with them.

    Its your host that will have the option, if available. Who is your host?

    Majkata,

    Whose site do you visit to log into your hosting account?
    That might give us a clue how to help you?

    No i have my own reseller. I never really checked email fowarding.

    Edit:
    Ok i found out how. You must have cpanel to do it.
    For those of you that don't know here:

    1. http://yoursite.com/cpanel
    2. Login
    3. Click MAIL (Not Webmail)
    4. Click on Forwarders
    5. Click Add Forwarder

    And enter your email address.

    Thanks for all the help guys.
