How do I forward email to another address?
For simple mail forwarding, create the file '.forward
' in your home directory and make it readable. ('chmod 644
') Enter the names of addresses to which your mail should be forwarded, one per line. If you would like to keep a copy of each email in addition to forwarding, insert a line with a backslash followed by your username, for example '\username'.~/.forward
Here is an example file which forwards email to two remote accounts and keeps a local copy of each email here:
myaddress@gmail.com anotheraddress@yahoo.com \myusername
