E-mail Forwarding

As you change jobs, addresses, and Internet access providers throughout your lifetime, your Cornell e-mail address (for example, ewe1@cornell.edu) will remain constant. Friends, business associates, and family will always be able to reach you. Using the service also lists your name and e-mail address in the Cornell Electronic Directory.

Cornell's e-mail forwarding service redirects all messages sent to your Cornell e-mail address to the e-mail address of your choice. To set up or update your e-mail forwarding address, go to the WhoIAm@Cornell website. (You will need your NetID and password.)

About spam

Cornell's automated filtering system blocks e-mail 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.

May 2009 graduates:

• If you have been using Cmail for your Cornell e-mail, you don't need to set up e-mail forwarding. Your messages will continue to be delivered to Cmail as usual. You do not need to take any action for this to happen.
• If you didn't sign up for Cmail before you graduated, you have until September 30, 2009, to sign up for Cmail.
• If you don't sign up for Cmail by September 30, 2009, you will need to use Cornell's free e-mail forwarding service to continue receiving your Cornell e-mail.
