Webmail: forward all of your incoming mail to another address

These instructions will help you set up email forwarding to an external email address. This method will keep your University email archived in your Webmail account, which may be useful in case you accidentally delete University mail on your external account.

NOTE

For this method to work, you must remove any forwarding that you've set up on the University's Network Page. Forwarded mail is NOT secure once it leaves the University's mail server.
