Tutorial - Webmail – Automatic Forwarding

Starting and Stopping Automatic Forwarding

When you set up forwarding for your mail account, messages addressed to your account are automatically sent (forwarded) to another e-mail address.

From the Options pages Forwarding. The screen below will appear.

To start automatic forwarding:

In the Forward to text box, enter the destination e-mail addresses to which you want your mail to be automatically forwarded.

user@hostname.com

To have a copy of forwarded messages delivered to your inbox, select the Keep a copy of each forwarded message checkbox. Click Start or Reset.
Result: If you clicked Start, messages addressed to your account are automatically forwarded to the specified destination address. If you clicked Reset the text box is cleared of any changes you made to it.

To stop automatic forwarding:

In Options, click Forwarding.
When the Forwarding screen appears, click Stop.
Your mail delivery automatically reverts to your Inbox e-mail address.

If you choose to enter multiple addresses, separate them with commas; for example,
