fowarding e-mails

Ok, so my grad school gave me an e-mail account, and in the past, when I have an e-mail account from a school, I don't bother with it. I mean most of the e-mails are about events I don't attend anyways. However, it's different in Grad School, the e-mails are important. However, I don't want to check 500 different e-mail accounts when I can funnel all of my e-mail into my personal e-mail account.

Lets say I have Wilgrove1@Hotmail.com as my personal e-mail, and I dunno Zummer08@Gradschool.edu as my school e-mail.

Is there a way to funnel my e-mails from my grad school account into my personal one? Like when my school e-mail get a new e-mail it goes directly to my personal one?

Just to let ya'll know, those are not real e-mails, they are just examples.

...why don't you talk to your school tech support? They can tell you their system far better than we can.

I mean, unless you're talking about in general whether such a concept of "email forwarding" exists, then yes, it does. Talk to your tech support to figure out how to set up yours.

Set up forwarding ;) ? An standard option in practically every mail server.

Whether you can forward your other accounts depends on your relationship with the provider. ISPs and other paid services generally allow it. Some ad-supported webmail systems want you to visit their site and read their ads.

I forward all my accounts to a central Gmail account. Not only is it convenient and ISP-independent, but Google has the best spam filter I've found on the net. Plus they allow free POP3 downloading into your email program, something I've rarely seen on other free webmail accounts.

did you try looking in the FAQ or searching help for "mail forwarding"? Seems to be a logical first step, rather than asking people who have no knowledge of what system you are using...
