Email Forwarding

Cornell University provides free email forwarding for all alumni. Once you've set up your address, Cornell will forward all email sent to your Cornell address (this will match your NetID, i.e., abc1@cornell.edu) to another email address of your choice.

The WhoIAm@Cornell self-service web interface allows you to set up or update your email forwarding address.(Note: You need your NetID to log in to WhoIAm@Cornell.)

As you change jobs, addresses, and Intenet access providers throughout your lifetime, your Cornell email address remains constant. Friends, business associates, and family will always be able to reach you. Signing up also lists your name and email address on the Cornell Electronic Directory.

You must have a non-Cornell email address to forward your email to. If you don't have an email address, there are many excellent free email providers including Google Gmail, Microsoft Hotmail, and Yahoo.

Please Note:

Cornell's automated filtering system blocks email messages that have an 80% probability or higher of being spam. These messages will normally not be delivered to you. Although it is very rare, the system can occasionally interpret a legitimate e-mail as spam and keep it from being delivered.
