Often when I'm working on a terminal, I'll see the "you have new mail in…" message. I know I can see this mail by looking in my system's mail folder (/var/mail/), but this is inconvenient. Also, if the message is important, such as a notice about low system resources, or drive problems, or a failed cron job, I may not see that message or check the system's mail folder for weeks or more.
How can I set it up so that all these messages get sent to a real email service, like Gmail, which I check daily?

See this:
So, when you do this:
the mails should be forwarded to the e-mail you've specified (in this case,
yourmail@example.com)
