Default How to forward an email to other account

Trust me if you don't have admin access to mail server then forwarding mail can be problem. For example your account at uni tom.cat@myuni.com and then you gonna for holidays or just wanna forward email to mr.tom@yahoo.com then just do the following trick:

Code:
echo 'mr.tom@yahoo.com' > .forward
This also allow you to read any mail sent to your account when you don't have access to webmail and you can use one email id to manage all emails
