After creating and deleting a forwarder, I cannot create a mailbox with the same name as the "deleted" forwarder Anonymous 4 years ago updated 4 years ago Answered I created an email forwarder called [email protected]. Subsequently I realized that what I really wanted was an email box with that name, so I deleted the forwarder in cPanel. When I attempt to create a mailbox with the name [email protected]. I get an error message "Error: The requested email address, [email protected], conflicts with the mailing list [email protected]." - However, I already deleted that forwarder, and have verified that it is gone from cPanel.Is there some kind of housekeeping task I need to perform to clear out the old Forwarder after I delete it? Like emptying the trash?
