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. You can specify one or more valid e-mail addresses as destinations for your forwarded messages. You can easily stop forwarding and revert back to receiving your messages at your original e-mail address.

You can only set message forwarding if this feature is enabled on your e-mail server. If the Forwarding link does not display, your e-mail server is not enabled with this feature.

To start automatic forwarding:

  1. From the Options page, click Forwarding.
    Result: The Options: Forwarding page displays.
  2. In the Forward to text box, enter the destination e-mail addresses to which you want your mail to be automatically forwarded. If you enter multiple addresses, separate them with commas but without spaces; for example:

    user@hostname,user@hostname,user@hostname

    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:

  1. Click Forwarding.
    Result: The Options: Forwarding page displays.
  2. Click Stop.
    Result: Your mail delivery automatically reverts to your Inbox e-mail address.
