Your student email (also known as StudentMail) or staff email is your University of Otago-provided email account. Student email accounts may be set up to forward your emails to another email account.
For information security reasons, staff should not set up forwarding to non-University of Otago or student email addresses from a staff email account. Contact AskOtago if you need more information about this.
How do I set up email forwarding
To set up email forwarding:
- Log in to your University student email account.
- Click on the Settings cog icon in the toolbar on the top right corner of the page.
- In the Settings dialog box, select Mail > Forwarding.
- Select the Enable forwarding checkbox. If you want to stop email forwarding, clear this checkbox.
- Enter the email address that will receive the forwarded email messages.
- To keep copies of the forwarded messages in your Outlook account, select the Keep a copy of forwarded messages check box. Note that if Keep a copy of forwarded messages is not checked, forwarded mail will not be available in your Outlook account (not even in the Deleted folder), only in the account you are forwarding to.
- Select Save.
