Thomas,
Yes, it was only a 'syntax' error on your part, just making sure you were
doing things right (I expected you were!). Actually, if an account has a
forward, no mail is normally left in the account. The '.', in the forward
field, tells IMail to do that, leave a copy and forward to any other email
addresses in the forward field.
Either way will work, again, just letting you know about your options.
