Forwarding all your campus e-mail

If you prefer, you can have your campus e-mail forwarded to another address. Here are some highlights of the forwarding service:

• You can set up a forwarding address yourself. See the E-mail Forwards Manager.
• Your forwarding address lasts for one year and can be renewed.
• You can change your forwarding address as often as you like.
• Messages flagged as spam will not be forwarded.

For more information on this service, see New Unity E-mail Forwarding Tool.

Forwarding messages individually

• Verify a message before you forward it.
  If you receive an urgent message and are asked to forward it, first take a few moments to see if it is true. Snopes.com and similar sites track numerous hoaxes and tell you how to recognize them. Go to one of these sites, enter some key words or phrases from the message, and search the site to see if it is a hoax.
• Explain a forwarded message.
  When forwarding a message, include a brief introductory note explaining why you are sending it.
• Use the BCC option for forwarding to groups.
  When you forward an email to a group and need to maintain your recipients' privacy, be sure to put all their addresses in the BCC field instead of the TO or CC field.
• Clean up a message before you send it.
  If a message is worth forwarding, it's worth removing the previous recipients' names, e-mail addresses, and the >>> symbols first. Copy only the part you want to forward and paste it into a new e-mail instead of simply forwarding the entire original.
