Already have a non-Hartford email address? Would you like to read all of your email in one place in the account you already have? You can forward messages received at your University of Hartford email address to the account you already have! Here's how:

If you need assistance performing this procedure, contact Information Technology Services at 860-768-5999, or ITS@hartford.edu, or drop by the Computer Support Center in room CC113.

1. Point your web browser to http://mail.hartford.edu:8000 (or just click the link).
 
 
Macintosh Users -- you must change a setting in your Safari web browser in order to access the link above:

On the Safari toolbar, select "Develop" and then "User Agent" and then "Internet Explorer 8.0."
   
2. Log in with your Hartford e-mail name (without the "@hartford.edu" part) and your Hartford e-mail password. Leave "Interface" set to "GMS Administration."
 
   
3. Click the "+" next to "Administration."
 
   
4. Click the "+" next to "Mail."
 
   
5. Click "Account."
 
   
6. Click the "Forward" tab.
 
   
7. Type into the small box the address of the non-Hartford account you would like your mail forwarded to (in this example, jdoe@gmail.com). Then click "Add."
 
   
8. The email address will now appear in the larger box below. Be sure to UNCHECK the "Retain copy of received mail" box, and then click "Update."
 
   
9. Notice that now the "Forward" tab will have a little check mark on it. Click the "Log Off" button.
 
   
10. Test it! Send a test message to your @hartford.edu email account. Wait a couple of minutes for it to be processed. Check your non-Hartford account for the message. That's all! From now on, you only need to check your non-Hartford email account for all of your mail!
