Corporate e-mail accounts enable you to send and receive your e-mails from a mail client such as Outlook, your phone or even a web browser based client via webmail with your custom address: you@yourcompany.co.zw
A popular addition to this is e-mail forwarding - forwarding allows you to redirect incoming e-mails from one email address to another email address. When an e-mail is forwarded to a desired e-mail address, the mail servers would automatically redirect - or forward - the incoming e-mail to your chosen address.
Some Benefits:
There are some great benefits to using e-mail forwarding instead of (or in addition to) using your actual e-mail account: you@yourcompany.co.zw
Generic company e-mail address: Companies and organisations with more than one employee often have a generic e-mail address for enquiries, such as info@example.com or hello@example.com. It's not always necessary for this address to have an account of its own, so often e-mails like this can be automatically forwarded to the address of a company employee who can then internally distribute them to the appropriate person within the company.
Netcom does this with our info account: info@netcomzw.com address to save someone having to check another inbox - they all simply come in to an existing address within our organisation.
Forward mail from one address to multiple recipients: A great thing about e-mail forwarders is that the server can forward all mail sent to one e-mail forwarding address - let's say marketing@yourcompany.co.zw - to multiple recipients. In the example we have used, all mail could be forwarded to all members of the marketing team. This would mean that all e-mails sent to marketing@mycompany.com would then forward on to kuda@mycompany.com, chipo@mycompany.com and farai@mycompany.com.
