E-Mail-Forwarding for Students

Students can configure a forwarding from their student e-mail address to their external/private e-mail address in the User-Portal.

Constraints

  • The forwarding sends a copy of incoming e-mails to your recorded external/private e-mail address.
  • If you change the external/private e-mail address in WueStudy, the forwarding will also be updated to the new e-mail address.
  • Please note:
    Your external mailbox must be available and not, for example, full (‘over quota’). The university always sends emails to your JMU student account, as this allows us to verify delivery of the email. Forwarding is at your own risk. For example, your email provider may reject the email (mailbox full, etc.) or classify it as spam. However, we have no influence over this.

Configuring the forwarding

  1. Open the User-Portal in your browser.
  2. Log into your personal account.
  3. Click on Available Applications (under Applications).
  4. Select Mail: Permanent forwarding to external e-mail address by clicking on View next to it.
  5. (De)activate the checkbox to (de)activate the forwarding.
  6. Save your changes with the Submit button.

Notes:

  • The currently recorded external/private e-mail address in shown in the form field. Changing this e-mail address is only possible in WueStudy.
  • If you change your external e-mail address in WueStudy, the forwarding is also updated to the new e-mail address.
