Email, How to set up email redirection

***Attention*** All Faculty and Staff will no longer be able to use EDE to set up forwarding for their email. Please refer to KB 110048 for further information. 

We cannot control what happens to email when you forward or redirect it to another email provider. We've seen cases where email sent to @illinois.edu and redirected to another domain, e.g. @yahoo.com, has been tagged as spam by the receiving email domain. We are not responsible for missing mail to your personal email after it has been forwarded. 

How to Change Where Your Email Messages Are Delivered

2. Log into the EDE with your NetID and NetID password. 
3. Once you have logged into the EDE, find the 'mail' field and replace it with one of the following:
   
   
4. NOTE: Make sure that you type this email address correctly, or you will not receive your email.
