Auto forward from Medscape email

Hi.
I'm trying to set up a Medscape email address to autoforward to gmail or yahoo mail. I can't find a way to do it from Medscape. Any ideas?

Most email service do not auto forward mail for free. Gmail does. Hotmail and Yahoo requires a premium account.

I am not familiar with Medscape. Do you mean Netscape?  If Netscape, you can use this utility to auto forward to any address

Thanks for answering.
No, I actually mean Medscape. It's my grandfather's email address (he's a doctor), and he wants it to forward to gmail or something so that he can get it on his phone. I tried using gmail to pull in his Medscape emails, but that didn't work either - it wouldn't accept his username and password.
I will send him the link, to see if it works with Medscape.
Do you have any additional ideas to try?
Thanks.
if Medcscape has POP3 access, Mail Fetcher would work. If your grandfather's emails are in Outlook or another email client, Gmail IMAP can get those emails.

I got mail fetcher to accept the pop server - popmail.medscape.com, but it keeps rejecting his username and password.
