Use a filter with "Any Header - appears" and "Forward To" as the filter
action.

Will you be leaving your home PC up and running for the week? And will
Eudora be running? If so, you can set up a filter for "<Any Header>"
"Exists" to forward to another address. But this will leave all of the
email in your PC also.

If you're not leaving your home PC running, all of the email will be
stored at your ISP (or where ever you get your email) and you should be
able to access it using a web based email program.

The best way to do that is to have the mail server do it. Check with your
service provider to see if they offer forwarding at the server level. Some
do, some don't. Doing it at the server is more reliable and avoids issues
with making sure your computer is up and running Eudora the whole time
you are gone. Simple things, like Eudora waiting for someone to answer an
error message can prevent that from working when you're not there.

If you can't do it at the first server, check to see if the second
account can collect mail from other pop servers. A number of webmail
based accounts can do that for you. If neither is an option, as others
have said, make a filter to do it. Use "redirect to", not "forward to"
though. Forwarding is going to make all the messages appear to be from
your address, rather than from the original sender. Redirecting leaves the
original sender info intact.

Also, if any of the mail is from bulk sources, like various mailing
lists, you'll need to adjust your settings for NoAutoSendPrecedence and
NoAutoResponseHeaders. By default, Eudora will not automatically generate
outgoing mail in response to bulk messages. Those two settings control
which messages it considers to be "bulk" mail. Check the "eudora.ini
settings" section of the Help file for more details about them.
