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 ~/.forward') 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'.

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
