E-mail redirecting question

[punk4ever]

Hello all :) I'm in a bit of a pickle because I plan on switching internet providers soon, and most of my e-mail comes to me through the current internet provider's e-mail account. I asked them if I would be able to keep the e-mail account open without being a customer anymore and they, sadly, advised me that they would have to delete it.

 

 

 

Now, my question is, is it possible to redirect all the e-mails which may be sent to my current e-mail address to another e-mail? Would this be possible if they delete the e-mail account?

 

 

 

Any help here would be appreciated. I tried searching Google but I was somewhat confused with the results and didn't seem to understand if it was actually answering my question :oops:

 

 

 

Thanks!

Most email services have email forwarding (even yahoo and hotmail). Most services keep your account "disabled", but they dont delete it. You might be able to do it in the email options.

Okay, well, I figured a way to foward it and it works just fine now. What if an account is "disabled" will that mean no mail will come to that account and the message will just be sent back to the sender as though it was unable to find the e-mail address?

If the account is disabled, the mail service will not work (or shouldn't).

 

So yes, the mail will bounce.
