Forwarding Your UNT Internet Account

By Claudia Lynch, Benchmarks Online Editor

Sometimes people purchase UNT Internet Accounts so that they can use UNT computing facilities from home, including our connection to the Internet, but they would prefer to read their mail from another E-mail account. This is particularly true of faculty and staff members who get most of their mail in GroupWise.

It is important for you to make sure you be are able to read mail sent to your UNT Internet Account because that is where expiration notices and other official communications are sent regarding your account. If you have not set up forwarding so it will go to your preferred E-mail account (in GroupWise, Pegasus Mail, or something else), then your messages will sit in your Internet E-mail account unread. You can make sure those messages are automatically forwarded by doing the following:

1. Go to http://people.unt.edu/manage
2. Log in using your Internet ID and password.
3. Once logged in, you can select "Forward your Mail". If you are forwarding to GroupWise, you will need to put in the entire address, for example: jdoe@CC.ADMIN.UNT.EDU If you have an alias, you can use that -- i.e. jdoe@unt.edu
4. Click on "Exit UIS Management System".
