Create a Mail Redirect
By first clicking on the Mail Icon

Firstly you need to create a new mail name. This can be anything you like but in this instance its sales@httpsme.com
Enter New Mail Name
Add sales into the Mail Name field in the Mail Name Form. Also unclick the tick boxes for Control Panel Access and Mailbox and click OK.
Select Redirect
The screen will now display a Warning stating the mail will not be delivered, so we need to class the Mail Name as a Redirect.

Enter your forwarding Address
Now enter your forwarded email address into the field below, in this case its a hypothetical example. Mail arriving at the server for nigel@httpsme.com will instead by forwarded to nigel@myadslprovider.com.
DNS Changes
Please note if you request a DNS Modification for your domain, the email and web forwarding will no longer work, and your domain name will eventually be de-activated in Plesk
