Is there an easy way to set up some sort of re-direct from an email to a new one. Reason I ask is....
My dad has decided he is probably going to swap providers from BT to Sky (don't know why) and i've always used my email from BT as my personal one for all important stuff so at the moment my email is adam.xxxxxxx@btinternet.com and if he gets sky it won't be there anymore, so is there a way i can get those emails to redirect anywhere?
I am signed up to way to many things to manually go through and change in settings, and i'd probably forget one and lose an important email etc.
I have my own domain, hosting etc which has unlimited emails on it, could i set one up for that somehow to catch all of those emails?
Trust him to want to move after 10+ years of using BT!!

I just moved from BT and it's a piece of piss m8. Log into your online BT Internet email account. On the upper right hand side of the screen is an 'Options' button.
Go to 'POP Access and Forwarding', click on the 'Forwading' option and enter your new Sky email address. All emails will now be automatically forwarded. Spam's included  .
However should give time to log into all site/boards and change email addresses  . This can be done on each BT Internet account. I had 4 to do.

As _Allan_ said. Make sure you manually change all your forum account e-mails and so on ASAP. BT won't keep the account open forever.

I think BT leave the account open but downgrade it to a normal joe public account. Mines been open for about 6 weeks still but am not bothered as all the email addresses have been swapped over.
