Auto Forwarding Mail From ALPINE To Any Other Email Address

We need just to create a file named ".forward" at your home directory (where your ".pinerc" file is). Here is a sample file:

# Exim filter - do not edit this line!
# only works for exim... others will treat it as a plain .forward file...

# if this filter generates an error, then deliver to original address
if error_message then finish endif

# If you want to forward your email to an offsite address, uncomment and modify
# the following line to use your own email address:
#deliver mymailaddress@gmail.com
deliver myEmailUname@myUni.edu

finish

# Extra Note from Slide
# You can keep the incoming mails as well as
# forward them to unsuspecting recipients. Typing
# "\yourid, other@address.com"
#


We can also create a signature file ".signature" that will be automatically included in all the outgoing mail.

These configurations should also work for MUTT.
