Hey,
I want my mcmaster email to arrive in my personal gmail folder.

I do not like logging into mcmaster's gmail service. I have to first type email, click accept, then signin with macid, its pointless.

I tried forwarding from macGMAIL to my personal gmail account but it doesn't work. I don't know why. Can anyone help me out?

Okay, I just set up forwarding in my account to see if it works, and it did. I don't know how you did it, so here are my steps (forgive me if it sounds condescending, I just want to make sure I include everything):
1) log into your @mcmaster.ca email.
2) Click the gear in the upper right hand corner, and select Settings.
3) Select the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab. Click 'Add a forwarding address' and enter the appropriate address.
4) get the confirmation code from your other address, and enter it into the space provided in the Mac email's Forwarding tab (you may have to refresh to see it). Click 'Verify'.
5) It should work now! If not, I don't know what's up.

thanks! great reply.
