Forwarding or Redirecting Your E-Mail Using the U-M Online Directory Via the Web
You can have the e-mail that is sent to you at your @umich.edu address
forwarded to any e-mail account you choose. This is because when mail
is sent to you at @umich.edu, U-M machines check the U-M Online
Directory, then forward, or redirect, that mail on to the e-mail
forwarding address(es) you specify. Use of the directory for e-mail
forwarding means you can keep your @umich.edu address no matter where
your e-mail mailbox resides.
If you use the IMAP e-mail service
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. If you use the ITCS Exchange Service, your Exchange e-mail address
must be in the U-M Online Directory E-mail Forwarding Address field.
Your system administrator may do this for you, or you may need to do it
yourself.
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. (See the E-Mail Forwarding Status page for details about mail providers that may not accept mail forwarded from @umich.edu addresses.)

Changing Your E-Mail Forwarding Address
If you change e-mail providers and/or addresses, be sure to update your mail forwarding address.
- Use your web browser to go to this web page:
https://directory.umich.edu/mailforwarding/
- Log in with your uniqname and UMICH Kerberos password.
- In the box under E-Mail Forwarding Address, type the address to which you want your @umich.edu mail sent. Then click Add.
- The
mail forwarding tool will check the validity of your address. If it is
invalid, check to see if there is a typo in it. Click Edit to fix the typo.
- Be sure to log out when you are finished.
IMPORTANT! Please delete any e-mail
addresses that you are no longer using. If you have more than one
address listed, copies of your mail will be sent to all of those
addresses.
Figuring Out Which E-Mail Forwarding Address to Use
Your e-mail address is made up of your uniqname and the address of the ITCS IMAP e-mail service.
For example, if your uniqname were bjensen, your e-mail forwarding address would be bjensen@mail.umich.edu.
Your e-mail address is made up of your uniqname and the address of the ITCS Exchange Service.
For example, if your uniqname were bjensen, your e-mail forwarding address would be bjensen@adsroot.itcs.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 help.
If you use a non U-M e-mail provider
Use the address provided by your e-mail service provider. (See the E-Mail Forwarding Status page for details about mail providers that may not accept mail forwarded from @umich.edu addresses.)
