How do I forward my mail from a Unix account?

To forward email in Unix:

1. To remove any existing forwarding information, at the Unix prompt, enter: mv -f ~/.forward ~/.forward-old
2. Add the full address of your preferred account in a new .forward file with the command below: echo username@host.domain > ~/.forward

   Replace username with your username on your preferred system, and replace host.domain with the name of the preferred email host computer and its domain.
