This guide concerns the redirection email 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, nor 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 existing addresses.
• Recipients registered to receive redirected emails must first accept their addition for the redirection to them 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).
• To manage the redirections of existing email addresses on your Mail Service, refer to this other guide.

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

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