### Creating an Email Forwarder

1. Log in to `https://[servernaam].srvnl.nl:8443`.
   📖 **More info:** [How to find out which server you're on](/en/article/how-can-i-find-the-server-name-of-my-hosting-package-acx1d4/)

2. In the right menu, click **Mail**.
3. Click the **+ Create Email Address** button.
4. Fill out the form as follows:
   
* **Email address:** enter the first part of the email address.
     *(Example: for jansen@voorbeeld.it, enter **jansen** only.)*
* **Can be used to log in to Plesk:** check if you want the user to manage settings (optional).
* **External email address:** optional, for password recovery.
* **Password:** choose a strong password (recommended: at least 16 characters, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols).
* **Confirm password:** re-enter the chosen password.
* **Mailbox:** uncheck this if you want **only forwarding**.

5. Go to the **Forwarding** tab:
   
* Check **Activate mail forwarding**.
* Enter the email address(es) (one per line) to which incoming messages should be forwarded.

6. Finally, click **OK**.

The email forwarder has now been successfully created.

| 📌 **Important:**

* Spam filters may treat forwarded emails more strictly.
* You can partially avoid this by creating a full mailbox for the address.

||| ℹ️ **Important:** In this guide, replace `voorbeeld.it` with your own domain name and `[servernaam]` with the server where your hosting package is hosted.
