NOTE: You can forward UniSQ University emails sent to your UMail account, to other non UniSQ email address.

Once you have logged into your UMail account:

  1. Click on the options (cog) Image result for google settings icon icon in the top right hand corner
  2. Click on the settings menu option
  3. Click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab
  4. Click on the Add a forwarding address button
  5. Enter the forwarding address email in the email address field
  6. Click on the Next button
  7. Check that you have entered the correct email address, and click on Proceed
  8. Click on OK

NOTE:  You will need to log into your forwarding email account to verify the change.  Click on the link within the email to finish verifying the change.  You will then be taken back to UMail.

In UMail:
