Click on “Inbox” and then select “Mailbox ▸ Edit Mailbox”. 
Switch to the Rules pane and add a rule. You can add conditions if you 
like, but the action should be to “Redirect” emails to your 
assistant. Redirecting is better if your assistant needs to reply to the 
emails.

A better solution might be to use a special tag for redirected emails. 
You can make a smart mailbox with the same rule which only matches the 
tagged emails. That way you can tag (or maybe just flag if you don't use 
that for other purposes) and then it's automatically redirected to your 
assistant while you can also easily see the emails you have redirected.

(If you forward/redirect all emails then it would be better if it could 
be handled server side -- or your assistant simply had direct access to 
your email account such that you could also easily see what has already 
been handled.)
