Does anyone here know how to forward all mail to another mail server?
I have a separate account and it has become difficult to keep checking 
all of my mail accounts.
Thanks

	Edit a file in your home directory called ".forward" with the 
content in the format of "[email-masked]".  I do it with my three 
accounts, so I only have to log in to one host to check my mail.  This 
function is not pine-specific, so you could use it with any sort of 
mailreader that you wanted.  Pine does, however indicate that it was sent 
to the alternate address, and not to the current server in the to: line.

eg:
".forward" on the server win95.microsoft.com
[email-masked]

If I send mail to "[email-masked]" it wil get forwarded 
to "[email-masked]", so he only has to check his mail 
in one place, but he'll know that you sent him mail at win95, not redmond.

good luck.

Yes, on the computer you want incoming mail redirected to another just 
create a .forward file which contents your login name and the redirection 
address:

#.forward
\userid, "[email-masked]"

    Please be aware that this technique applies only to UNIX and its 
derivatives.  On other systems (e.g., VMS, VM/CMS, etc.), it does not 
apply.  Not everyone runs on the same operating system, and 
unfortunately, some users are not always aware of what system they are 
running on.
