For : forwarding incoming mail is straightforward only if you control the mailbox or the domain. is correct that someone cannot forward mail from an account they do not own. s link pointed at server-side SMTP solutions; below is a concise, practical summary of how to proceed and what to watch for.

  • Common approach (server-side, preferred): log into the domain/hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, registrar control, etc.) and create a forwarder or alias for the specific address (or a catch-all if desired) that points to the destination address. For Google Workspace and Exchange/Office 365 use the Admin console/mailbox forwarding or a mail flow rule.
  • Alternative (client-side): set a mail client or webmail filter to forward new messages — works if you have mailbox access but not ideal for server-side reliability or for catching mail sent while the client is offline.
  • Test and troubleshoot: send external test messages, check spam/junk, and inspect headers for delivery paths. If forwarded mail is rejected or marked forged, check SPF/DKIM/DMARC: forwarding can break SPF. Fixes include enabling SRS on the forwarder or configuring an alias/relay at the mail server. Check mail logs or the host's support/consult docs for exact UI steps.

Legal/operational note: forwarding requires account-owner authorization. For migrations, use IMAP-copy tools (for example, imapsync) or provider migration utilities rather than simple forwarding.

Personally, no, I can't do that for you.

If you have your own domain, you should very easily be able to set the mail options within that domain to forward your mail to a list of alternate addresses if you choose and if you're not sure how I'm sure your hosting provider or registrar would be able to help.

If, on the other hand, you're trying to have mail forwarded from an account you don't have access to, to an account you do have access to, best of luck.
