Note: This feature is not available by default. Employees (including student employees) wanting to use the automatic forwarding feature will need to request an exception in order to have it activated on their account. Email domains that will be approved for email forwarding include other @berkeley.edu accounts, other UC Campuses, or affiliated labs.
You can have your emails automatically forwarded to another email address as allowed by Berkeley Employee Use of Email policy. You can forward all of your new messages, or just specific kinds of messages. Note that spam messages aren't included when you choose to forward all new mail.
