Manage Mail Redirects

You can forward or redirect email from one mailbox to another email address. By creating an email redirect or alias, messages are sent to a different email box without the sender needing to know the new address. Email can be redirected to an address outside the domain. Use this feature to:

  • Temporarily forward mail when someone is unavailable to receive it
  • Send mail to a new mail box if a mail box user is leaving the organization
  • Forward mail to a new account which will eventually replace an old mail box (e.g. someone is changing their mailbox name but hasn't had time to inform all correspondents of the change yet)
  • NOTE: The System Administrator has the ability to limit the number of mail redirects that you are allowed to create for a given domain. To find out what your limits are, or to request a change in those limits, please click here.

In order to create or enable a mail redirect for a given mail name, from the Mail Name Properties page, follow these steps:

  1. Click in the check box provided next to Redirects.
  2. In the text field to the right, enter the appropriate address to which to forward mailsent to this mail name.
  3. To change the redirect address for a given mail name, click on the existing entry in the Redirects box and change it to the new address.
  4. Click the UPDATE button to enter these changes.
