The Type of Account defines the behaviour of the individual email account. To allow the account to store email so that it can be accessed via POP3, IMAP or Webmail services choose the Email Mailbox option. This is a regular type of email account. To disable storage of emails and simply forward mail received by this account to another email address, choose Email Forwarder from the dropdown and enter the Forwarding to Address as shown. Note that you can only forward to a single email address using the Email Forwarder option. If you wish to forward email to additional addresses, please see the Email Handling section for adding more recipients.
