First question: do you run a mailserver on your machine, or do you just
get mail by POP in your mail client directly? If you run a mailserver
(called an MTA, like exim or qmail or sendmail), which one? If you're
not sure how to answer this, I'll go into more detail about how to work
it out.

Anyway, how to do the first bit (automatically sending mails from one
place to another on arrival) depends on your MTA, if you have one, or
on your mail client. The second bit (adding functionality to your mail
client (called an MUA)) depends on your mail client. What do you use?
KMail, Evolution, mutt, something else?

Need a little more information before we can help...

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad.
You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
