How Can I Forward My UCSB Email to My Personal Email Account

Forwarding Mail to Another Account

Google allows you to forward your e-mail to another account; you can also opt to leave a copy of the forwarded messages in your U-Mail Inbox. 
 
  1. Using Gmail, log into your U-Mail account that you want to forward from.
  2. At the top right, click the gear icon for Settings.
  3. Select Settings.
  4. Select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
  5. Click Add a forwarding address in the “Forwarding” section.
  6. Enter the email address you want to forward to ("receiving" account).
  7. For your security, Google will send a verification email to that address. Open the receiving account and find the confirmation message from the Gmail team. If you’re having trouble finding it, check your Spam folder.
  8. Click the verification link in that email.
  9. Back in your U-Mail account, reload the page in your web browser - look for the reload icon Reload.
  10. On the same Forwarding and POP/IMAP page in Settings, check that Forward a copy of incoming mail is selected and your email address is in the first drop-down menu.
  11. In the second drop-down menu, choose what you want Google to do with your messages after they’re forwarded, such as keep U-Mail’s copy in the Inbox (recommended) or archive U-Mail’s copy.
  12. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
