Daniel,
May I ask, politely, if you don't want to do this through the GUI, why have
you got a Qube or RaQ?  (See below for what I do with my Qube.)

I set up accounts for users in our company who work off-site.  I control
these accounts and set on, through the GUI, forwarding to their external
mailboxes.

So, for your first example, I would have the account "mailad1" on the Qube,
with mail sent to "mailad1@xxxxxxxxx" forwarded to "michael@xxxxxxxx".  That
is exactly what that feature is meant for.
