If you wish to have your mail forwarded from your University mail account to another mail address, you can do so in the following ways:

Webmail

• Forwarding From Webmail - if you use Webmail you can easily forward from thw Webmail interface to Unixmail.

Unix

At the unix prompt ( % ) type:

   echo new-address@somewhere.com > .forward

• Replace new-address etc with your own address
• Note that there is a full stop at the beginning of the file name .forward

To check you have entered the right address type:

   cat .forward

To remove the forwarding file type:

   rm .forward

Note: There is a time delay of about 30 minutes before a new .forward file starts working or a removed file stops working, so allow for this when testing.
