Auto Forward Email?

[Juice Box]

Is there a way i can setup thunderbird to automatically foward my uiuc webmail (school email) to a gmail account in case my computer dies again? I have it set so i automatically DL the emails as they come in, because our school limits our email storage to 2 mb....hardly enough. Is there a way i can setup thunderbird to automatically foward the email to a dummy gmail account, just so the messages can be on a gmail server all the time?

you would probably have to do it on the uiuc webmail account not on thunderbird.

ask them if the have a unix-based interface (e.g. pine email). then you can create a .forward (yes, that's dot-forward) file that will automatically forward emails to your gmail account. i'd find out from the computing department if they support it though.

Your school e-mail account doesn't have a forwarding option? 😕

I know that Outlook has that functionality through its "Rules Wizard", if all else fails you can use Outlook.

At least you're not using Eudora.

here... but yes, you'll need to log into your webmail administration interface so make sure you have your email address and password handy

I believe this Thunderbird extension allows you to do that:
