Your understanding is correct. The forwarding and vacation features are 
not yet implemented in beta.mail.msu.edu, they will go live on December 
22nd, 2008 when beta.mail.msu.edu becomes mail.msu.edu. The reason for 
this is because we will be utilizing a different method for handling 
these pieces of information. Currently .forwards and vacation messages 
are read out of a flat file in a non-quota'd directory full of 
preferences. This is changing to be read directly out of a database.

I am not certain as to the exact location within the new webmail where 
users will find this new feature.
