Login to your Gmail account, go to settings and then to forwarding. You can type in a email address to forward to and select the option for gmail to keep a local copy.

Very easy!

1) With your Gmail open, click on the "Settings" link at the top right of the Gmail Window.

2) Then Click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab

3) At the very top of that Tab is the option to Forward to another account.

4) Click on the option "Forward a copy of incoming mail to ..." and specify the address there. Then choose the drop down option of what you want to do with the gmail, keep it in the inbox or archive it or delete it.

5) Then click "Save Settings" button at the bottom!

Voila!

The above instructions is if you want to forward all your mail to a specific address, if you only want to forward specific to another address, then you need to create a filter, which can also be done from the settings page, click "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, then click on "Tip: You can also forward only some of your mail by creating a filter!"
