How is e-mail forwarding different from my current e-mail account?

0

E-mail forwarding is only a “forwarding” service as the name suggests, unlike your current e-mail which is an e-mail “account”. The main difference between e-mail forwarding and your e-mail account is that e-mail forwarding does not come with storage space for e-mail. E-mail forwarding works with your e-mail account by forwarding e-mail sent to your @iitbombay.org address to the e-mail account that you have specified as your forwarding address. Users of MS Outlook and other advanced mail clients can also set the sender’s address (e.g. User Information in MS Outlook) to their IIT Bombay forwarding address, though this may not be possible for web-based e-mail accounts such as Yahoo and Hotmail.
