Forwarding UCCS Webmail

Last Update: 6/11/08

These instructions explain how to forward your UCCS email to another email account. For complete Webmail instructions, see http://www.uccs.edu/~helpdesk/webmail.htm.

Note: The UCCS email is the official method of communication to the students. Students are responsible for reading their email. Forwarding the email introduces an additional level of complexity and sometimes fails. It's recommended that you use Webmail to read the mail.

Screen Capture
1. To access Webmail, open a browser and go to https://webmail.uccs.edu. Log in using your IT login and password. There's information on the Webmail homepage that explains the login information. You may leave the Layout box blank.

Note: When using Webmail, you do not normally use the browser toolbars. Navigate using Webmail commands.

Screen Capture
2. You can choose to temporarily or permanently forward your email to another email address. Click on Mail Control. Type the email address in the box next to Redirect All Mail to and put a checkmark in the Enable box. Also put a checkmark to the left of Preserve To/CC fields. If it's only a temporary forward (vacation), place a check next to Keep a Copy. This will keep a copy on the UCCS server for your return. If you always want to read your UCCS email from another email address (like Gmail), do not check Keep a Copy. This will prevent Webmail from filling your Inbox. If you reach the Webmail limit, new mail will not be forwarded. Do not check the box concerning Redirect Automatic Messages. Click the checkmark to Save the redirect.

3. To remove the forward, remove the checkmark from Enable and click the checkmark to Save. The other checkmarks don't matter.

4. When you're done with Webmail, you should click Log Out or close the browser.
