What’s the difference between email forwarding and a Mailbox?

Creating an Email Forwarder is just like creating a signpost, and there is no physical storage associated with it. It is only used to forward your mail to an existing account like a yahoo account or a Hotmail account for example. To be specific you could set up contact@yourdomain.com and have any mail sent to that address sent to yourname@hotmail.com. However, although you can elect to have mail sent TO the forwarding address, you cannot send FROM the forwarding address.

With one of our Mailboxes you can both send and receive at the new address. The mailboxes have full SPAM and Virus protection, 2GB of storage and we can help you set it up with Outlook, or any other mail client of your choosing. Or if you prefer, all mailboxes come with free Webmail access so you can just type http://mail.yourdomain.com into your browser and login to your online interface.
