How does Email Forwarding work?
Email sent to your uniqname@umich.edu is delievered to the address listed in the “E-mail Forwarding Address” field of your UM online directory entry. The contents of this field vary, based on where you get your email. If you use the UMCE IMAP service (e.g., pine, mail.umich.edu, etc), the correct value for this field is: uniqname@firstletter.imap.itd.umich.edu If you read your mail elsewhere, for example, via a departmental mail server, your local system administrator should be able to tell you the correct value for this field. To delete or change information in your UM online directory entry, • bind to the directory at https://directory.umich.
When you register for an Infinite Connection account, you receive an alum.mit.edu Email Forwarding address. At the same time, you specify one to five email accounts as your forwarding email address(es). When people send email to your alum.mit.edu address, it is forwarded to the addresses you specified.
• 120 days after your graduation your student GSB student email account closes and the GSB IT department sets all new mail directed to this address (@gsb.stanford.edu) to forward to your GSB alumni address (username@alumni.stanfordgsb.org). From then on, all mail sent to your student address will forward to your alumni address indefinitely.
Your email address right now probably looks something like this: yourname18@yourprovider.com or yourname999@hotmail.com (not very personal and hard to remember). By registering your domain name with NetRegister your e-mail address can look like this: yourname@yourdomain.com (professional/personal looking, easy to remember and it’s yours for life!) All email sent to addresses that you set up (through your personal Control Panel) using your domain name such as “yourname@yourdomain.com” is then forwarded securely to your current email address that you have with your ISP. You send and receive your email the same way you do now.
