  2. Click Preferences > Accounts > Add External Account.
  3. In the External Account Settings section of the page, enter your External Account's email address in the Email address field.
  4. Enter a name for your External Account in the Account Name field.
  5. Select the appropriate Account type (POP3 or IMAP).

  8. Click Save under Preferences.
  9. When complete, you will see a success message. Click OK.

  • Click Preferences > Mail.
  • Enter the desired email address in the Forward a copy to: field in the Receiving Mail portion of the page.
  • Select the Don't keep a local copy of message box if you do not wish to receive a copy of your email message on the account from which you are forwarding mail.
