Here are the steps to follow to forward e-mails from your ego account to another e-mail account. Please note that the forwarding feature and the vacation message feature do not work concurrently therefore they should not be enabled at the same time.

Forward your e-mails:

1. For Windows users click on the Start button and choose Run...

2. In the box type: Telnet ego (or Telnet 132.206.106.211).

3. Log in to your ego account with your username and password (the username and password are exactly the same as the ones you use for your e-mail).

4. Once you are authenticated you will be at the root prompt of ego (ego%).
   Type the command "pico .forward" (without the quotations). Please note the space between pico and .forward

5. On the screen that follows type the e-mail address that you would like to have your e-mails forwarded to (for example if you would like to have your e-mails forwarded to johndoe@mcgill.ca type the entire e-mail address on the screen). Press Ctrl-X to exit and you will be prompted to save your changes.

Cancel the forwarding of e-mails:

1. Log in to your ego account exactly the same way as before when you enable the forwarding feature.

2. At the root prompt of ego type the command "rm .forward" (without the quotations). Please note the space between rm and .forward
