Forwarding UCCS Webmail

Last Update: 7/31/09

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.

1. To access Webmail, open a browser and go to https://webmail.uccs.edu. Log in using your IT username and password. Information for logging into webmail can be found on the bottom of the webmail page as well as here. You can change the visual theme of webmail by selecting an option in the Layout field before logging into webmail. For the purposes of this tutorial, leave the Layout box blank.

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

2. You can choose to temporarily or permanently forward your email to another email address. Click on Mail Control. Type the email address you would like to redirect to 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 (such as while on 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 options will not affect anything unless the redirect is enabled.

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