Email Forwarding, is that what I need?

Hello,

My free pop account is being downgraded to a non-pop account because of
lack of sponsorship (for the provider) and other whatnots.

This email id is quite important as I've been using it since a good
long time and it may take a while to inform my contacts and make other
necessary changes.

Now what I need is some kind of service that will redirect all mails to
my current email (the one mentioned above) to a new one (gmail) with
pop access and stuff.

Is there any such service? and if yes, can it be had for free (even a
trial would suffice)

Is email forwarding what I'm looking for? it doesn't seem the right
thing however.

Please guide me to relevant resources,

thanks.

Only your current email service can do that. If they don't offer
forwarding you're out of luck.

As Steve mentioned, only your 'current'/old provider can forward mail
sent to your 'current'/old address.

*Who* is your 'current'/old provider? I assume that they now (still)
provide *web*mail, right? What is your client platform, i.e. the OS and
'mailer' (User Mail Agent) which you use? ('We' need this information in
order to be able to offer possible alternatives.)

If someone doesn't think that their posts are valuable
enough to archive, then why would anyone think they
are valuable enough to read? Who would take the advice
of someone who can deny that they ever posted it in week
or so?

Amazing powers of deductions, Beavis.

You got that right.

============================================================ ===============

FAQ: Canonical list of questions Beavis refuses to answer (V1.50)

This is a canonical list of questions that Beavis never answers. This FAQ is
posted on a semi-regular schedule, as circumstances warrant.

For more information on Beavis, see:

http://www.pearlgates.net/nanae/kooks/alanconnor.shtml

Although Beavis has been posting for a long time, he always remains silent
on the subjects enumerated below. His response, if any, usually consists of
replying to the parent post with a loud proclamation that his Usenet-reading
software runs a magical filter that automatically identifies anyone who's
making fun of him, and hides those offensive posts. For more information
see question #9 below.

============================================================ ================

1) If your Challenge-Response spam filter works so well, why are you munging
your address, when posting to Usenet?

2) If spammers avoid forging real E-mail addresses on spam, then where do
all these bounces everyone reports getting (for spam with their return
address was forged onto) come from?

3) If your Challenge-Response filter is so great, why do you still munge
when posting to Usenet?

4) Do you still believe that rsh is the best solution for remote access?
(http://tinyurl.com/5qqb6)

5) What is your evidence that everyone who disagrees with you, and thinks
that you're a moron, is a spammer?

6) How many different individuals do you believe really post to
comp.mail.misc? What is the evidence for your paranoid belief that everyone,
except you, who posts here is some unknown arch-nemesis of yours?

7) How many times, or how often, do you believe is necessary to announce
that you do not read someone's posts? What is your reason for making these
regularly-scheduled proclamations? Who do you believe is so interested in
keeping track of your Usenet-reading habits?

8) When was the last time you saw Bigfoot (http://tinyurl.com/23r3f)?

9) If your C-R system employs a spam filter so that it won't challenge spam,
then why does any of the mail that passes the filter, and is thusly presumed
not to be spam, need to be challenged?

10) You claim that the software you use to read Usenet magically identifies
any post that makes fun of you. In http://tinyurl.com/3swes you explain
that "What I get in my newsreader is a mock post with fake headers and no
body, except for the first parts of the Subject and From headers."

Since your headers indicate that you use slrn and, as far as anyone knows,
the stock slrn doesn't work that way, is this interesting patch to slrn
available for download anywhere?

11) You regularly post alleged logs of your procmail recipe autodeleting a
bunch of irrelevant mail that you've received. Why, and who exactly do you
believe is interested in your mail logs?

12) How exactly do you "enforce" an "order" to stay out of your mailbox,
supposedly (http://tinyurl.com/cs8jt)? Since you issue this "order" about
every week, or so, apparently nobody wants to follow it. What are you going
to do about it?

13) What's with your fascination with shit? (also http://tinyurl.com/cs8jt)?

14) You complain about some arch-nemesis of yours always posting forged
messages in your name. Can you come up with even a single URL, as an example
of what you're talking about?

15) You always complain about some mythical spammers that pretend to be
spamfighters (http://tinyurl.com/br4td). Who exactly are those people, and
can you post a copy of a spam that you supposedly received from them, that
proves that they're really spammers, and not spamfighters?

Your posts are never important enough to archive, yet you still allow it.
