Forwarding your mail is recommended in case you leave Israel for a long period and you will be having an alternative local mail account for that period. It solves the problem of the slow retrieve of your mail from Israel, and enables to work in a more simple fashion with a single local mail account. Please note that once you set the forward option you will not be able to see your new messages from your HUJI account - only from the mail account you've forwarded your mail to.
The method of forwarding email depends on the operating system.
On a UNIX server (e.g. cc, md, pob, pluto, agri3, mail.ls), you create a file called .forward in your home directory. This file should contain the email address you wish to forward your e-mail to. Please note that you can forward @cc.huji.ac.il email addresses either from shum.cc.huji.ac.il or yam-suff.cc.huji.ac.il.
On a VMS server (e.g. VMS, AGRI) the forwarding method depends on the software you are using, whether BMAIL, or old VMS MAIL. If you are not sure which email software you are using, select register in BMAIL main menu, and see if it says you were already registered. You can cancel your registration by choosing cancel from BMAIL main menu.
