How do I set up my CS account to forward my email to another account?

Create (if necessary) the file /mnt/mail.cs.brandeis.edu/`whoami`/.forward (whoami evaluates to your username) by using your favorite text editor (emacs, pico, vim, etc.). The first and only line of your file should be the e-mail address you want your mail to be forwarded to.

Note that this only forwards new, incoming mail that is sent to you. It won’t transfer existing emails from your CS account to the account you are forwarding your email to.

To undo this forwarding, simply remove the .forward file: rm /mnt/mail.cs.brandeis.edu/`whoami`/.forward

See the Mail Settings page for more information.
