You can have your emails automatically forwarded to another email address as allowed by Berkeley Employee Use of Email policy. You can forward all of your new messages, or just specific kinds of messages. Note that spam messages aren't included when you choose to forward all new mail.
Note: Forwarding is not recommended from another email provider to your UC Berkeley bMail. If you still wish to proceed with forwarding from an outside account to your Berkeley account, you’ll have to change your settings in the other account, not in bMail.

Forward to multiple accounts
bMail can only auto-forward all of your mail to one email address at a time. You can see what address bMail is currently forwarding to in the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab of Settings.
To forward emails to multiple accounts, you can use filters to forward specific types of messages to each account. You can create up to 20 filters that forward to other addresses. Learn more about filtering for multiple accounts: Advanced Gmail filters for work and School
