You'll have to use Netscape Communicator to do this.
 
6. You can forward your CS email to a different email account.

  If you want to automatically forward any email that is sent to your CS account to a different account (like your students.wisc.edu account or ...@hotmail.com, etc.), the CSL FAQ (frequently asked questions) Documentation tells how. 
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE YOU RECEIVE AND READ ALL EMAIL SENT TO YOUR CS ACCOUNT.
