This guide concerns the email redirection addresses feature, a function available on the Mail Services and used to create addresses intended solely for redirecting emails.

Preamble

• This feature allows you to create a "virtual" email address without affecting the available quota of email addresses on the paid Mail Service.
• It does not store any received messages, it is impossible to access and view them, or to restore or view the logs of messages that have passed through.
• It is solely intended to redirect incoming emails to one or more (max. 10 ‍users per redirection) other actually existing addresses.
• Recipients registered to receive redirected emails must first accept their addition for the redirection to work (see point 3 below).
• Emails considered as spam by Infomaniak will not be redirected (bounce to the sender — and refer to this other guide regarding possible Gmail to Gmail redirections).

Number of possible “virtual” redirections

⚠ Redirection addresses that can be created, per available address (depending on the Mail Service quota):

For example: Mail Service paid for 10 addresses = 200 redirection addresses available

2. Add a new redirection address

3. Confirm the addition as a redirection recipient

The receiving addresses entered in the table automatically receive an email requesting confirmation of the addition.

• The user must click on the link in the email to validate the addition.
• As long as the addition is not confirmed, the status Pending will remain displayed next to the destination address (visible if you modify the redirection address - read below).

Modify or delete the redirection

You cannot rename a redirection address after its creation. But to modify the list of redirection recipients, or resend a confirmation request, or delete the redirection email address:

   4. The acceptance status details are displayed to the right of the recipient address.
2. Resend to immediately request by email that the user accept their addition to the list (a second reminder will only be possible after 24 hours, otherwise the button remains grayed out).
