Create a Forwarding E-mail Address at 1and1.com

Learn how to create an e-mail address that will forward all incoming mail to another e-mail address.

A forwarding e-mail address can also be thought of as an e-mail alias, since the forwarding e-mail account will not actually recieve the mail itself, but forward it to another address. The forwarding e-mail account will really just be another name for receiving e-mail at an existing e-mail address.

Step 1

Log in to the 1&1 Control Panel using your Customer ID OR domain name and your password.
