Chosen solution

you log into your mail providers web site and you enter the forwarding details in the web interface.

You can use filters in Thunderbird, but it is a very very poor choice as it requires you computer to be running and Thunderbird to be running all the time you are away. I can not get windows to run unattended for more than a few days before Microsoft decides I need to reboot.

I am going to guess you mean forward them to another address. Do this at your providers webmail site.
