Your Entry: Forward Your E-Mail

If you use the e-mail services provided by Information Technology Central Services (ITCS), the e-mail forwarding address in your directory entry has been set for you so you can receive your e-mail. You can change the forwarding address any time you wish. For example, if you leave the University, you can have your e-mail forwarded to a different address.

Changing your e-mail forwarding address

1. Click the Bind button. (Before you can make changes to your entry you must "bind" to the directory as yourself.)
2. At the weblogin screen, enter your uniqname and UMICH password, then click Login.
3. Your uniqname will now be displayed in the upper right corner of the window under the Help button. Click your uniqname to display your directory entry.



4. Click the Modify button.

NOTE: The Modify button is grayed out until after you bind to the directory and display an entry that you are permitted to modify. After you bind to the directory and display an entry, the Modify button becomes clickable.

5. Change the address in the E-Mail Forwarding Address field to the address where you want your e-mail forwarded. (See instructions below for figuring out which e-mail forwarding address to use.)
6. Click the Save Changes button.
7. When you are finished using the directory, click the Unbind button (at the top of the page). Click logout (in the bottom right corner of the page), and quit or exit your web browser before leaving your computer.

Figuring out which e-mail forwarding address to use

• If you use the e-mail service provided by ITCS:
  Your e-mail address is made up of your uniqname and the address of the ITCS e-mail service.



For example, if your uniqname were bjensen, your e-mail forwarding address would be bjensen@mail.umich.edu.

• If you use another U-M e-mail service:
  If you don't know your full e-mail forwarding address, ask your departmental administrator for assistance.
• If you use a non U-M e-mail provider:
  Use the address provided by your e-mail service provider.
