Switching off the Mailbox Service When You Have Decided to Turn Your Account into a Mail Forwarder

If you are going to use your existing e-mail account as a mail forwarder or mailing list, you are recommended to switch off the mailbox service: a mailbox keeps all incoming messages and messages are not removed automatically after being forwarded. Therefore, if you choose to have the "mailbox + mail forwarder" configuration on your account, be sure to clean up the mailbox from time to time.

To switch off the mailbox service for your account discarding all messages in your mailbox:

  1. Click the Domains shortcut in the navigation pane.
  2. Click the required domain name in the list.
  3. Click the Mail icon.
  4. Click the required e-mail address.
  5. Click the Mailbox icon in the Tools group.
  6. Deselect the Mailbox check box.
  7. Click OK.
