• Forwarding
  If you wish to have your LutherNet email forwarded to another account you may do so, by setting up a filter to forward all messages to another account.  (We recommend you also leave a copy in your Inbox so you don't loose mail.  Sometimes mail to other systems might not be delivered for one reason or another.)
