Hi,

I have an email account on my domain for my daily emails. I also have email on my ISP. I also am using Eudora as an email client. Getting emails from my ISP is very fast compared to getting emails from my domain on bluehost. So, what I want to do is automatically forward my emails from my domain account to my ISP account and then delete them off of my domain account without my having to go onto my domain account at all.

Now, I found the forwarder that is under mail in the control panel and that allows me to forward just fine. The problem I am having is I don't know how to delete the mail without logging in and manually doing it. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks,
wiskers

Wow, I just had the same question! It works differently at BH that other services I used, so I took a while to figure it out (admins, possibly KB entry?? :) )

The trick is to just to NOT create a POP3 account for that e-mail address. Simplly create the Forwarder with the e-mail address that you want in the E-mail control panel, and that creates a "forward-only" account that doesn't have a POP box, but is a valid address for your domain.

Cheers,
- Wes

Of course. Now why didn't I think of that. :rolleyes: That solves the problem quite nicely. Thanks WesW
