Email forwarding

Make sure you only forward a copy to InstaMail. Since we don’t store any emails we receive, if you don’t keep a copy on your server you will lose your emails.

Qmail

Edit your account’s .qmail file and add a forward line. Your .qmail file should look like this

| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ” bounce-no-mailbox
&your-account@instamail.me

GMail

Log into GMail, go to Setting -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you have a Forwarding section. In that section you have to choose “Forward a copy of incoming mail to” and fill your InstaMail account and also make sure you selected “keep Gmail’s copy in the Inbox” so you can read your emails after you get the notification on the phone.

MobileMe

Make sure you are int the Email section of MobileMe. Click on the cogwheel, then go to Preferences and click on the Others button. Check Forward my email to another email account and fill your instamail.me address in the corresponding field. Be sure to check Keep a copy of forwarded messages with MobileMe.

Yahoo!

Currently Yahoo! does not offer the option to keep a copy of forwarded email in Yahoo! mailbox. If you have an Yahoo! account you could forward emails first to an account that supports keeping a copy on the server, like Gmail or MobileMe.
