What is email Forwarding Mail forwarding works the same way as forwarding your phone calls.  If you already have an email account you may choose to forward your kent.edu account to your current account.   Here's how it works.   If you have an email address already.... "jsmith@aol.com".  You can forward your mail from (kent.edu)  jsmith@kent.edu to (another email address) jsmith@aol.com Forwarding is a way of sending email to an address other than the one to which it is addressed.     To start your email forwarding, follow the instructions below. The auto forward setting is available under the E-mail Options tab. 1. If you have not already done so, log into Flashline and open your email. 2. Click the Options tab. 3. Click on Settings. 4. In the Mail Forwarding field, enter your e-mail address on another mail system. For example, you may want to forward mail to your Hotmail account. In such case, you would enter your e-mail address for your Hotmail account. 5. To enable auto forwarding, click Save Changes. To exit without setting an auto forward address, click on Inbox or some other tab without clicking Save Changes.
