E-mail Filters for Mail Forwarding in Webmail

Mail Forwarding can be set in Webmail to forward your Bates account another type of account (i.e. yahoo, gmail, aol, etc.).

Please also consult creating a vacation message and creating and managing message filters.

These filters for forward, vacation or message filtering take effect for all your IMAP email programs (Webmail, Thunderbird IMAP, Mutt). The filters are processed before your mail is delivered to a mail reading program. You may also enter additional filters in Thunderbird to take effect after the mail is delivered to Thunderbird.
