Can you access your email account via web browser?  If so, take a look to see whether you can setup mail forwarding there.  I can do this with my Earthlink account.

If this an email account associated with a website, such as [email protected], logon to your web host server account; you should be able to set up mail forwarding there.

    Oh you could do SO MUCH if that was possible.
    Sending emails to someone and make it look like someone else sent it.

    Hmmm, the original post was by davisw, a "Guest".  Since when can Guests post in the forum?  And, I wonder why he apparently re-registered as MacDaddy121 to reply.

    All his posts are by him as a guest.
    I guess it's because he deleted his account, I've seen it a few times with different people.

    OK, so "guest" equals "ex-member" in the old forum.

      davisw or MacDaddy121 ..........  What you are refering to is called "spoofing" ......  A practice used by individuals who are up to no good.
      I trust you don't expect any of the members here to tell you how to do that.

      Its possible, yes, but it is certainly not full-proof.

      I will not tell you how, but I will tell you this:

      Since its put through a falsified address, and is not the same as the server it was sent from, it gets marked as "Unable to verify Sender ID" and can tend to be automatically junked.

      So its pointless

      And another issue is allowing someone to reply to the sent email

      how do you reroute an email through someone else

      Sounds painful. But you could probably do it by setting up a wireless network.

      Someone's receiving E-mail as I am writing this, actually.
