is there any difference between these two? Redirect mail to another

could be a dumb confusion!
Strictly speaking, redirect tells the sender to look elsewhere, while forward
accepts the mail and then sends it elsewhere. But where did you read about
this? Terms are used....inconsistently. Even pine uses "Bounce" for "Forward
without alteration of body and existing headers".
When bouncing from Pine or Alpine, the message will "appear" to have
been delivered directly to the recipient (headers are altered).
Forward does just what it's name implies. But now we are getting way
off topic. Over and out.
