I'm using mbox format on my desktop which is where my mail
is delivered to.  In my home directory I use a ".forward"
file which currently contains only "|/usr/bin/procmail".
Procmail then distributes to several mailboxes.  However
it could also forward the message to another email address.

You are probably not using procmail, so just the .forward
file may suffice.  Something like this:

OtherUser at OtherEmailAddress
/home/ulrich/<YourInBox>

That would forward a copy to your phone email address and
then deposit another copy in your inbox

Probably not applicable if you are using IMAP.
