Forwarding e-mail to an off-campus account (e.g. Hotmail)
If a student wishes all the wwc e-mail to go to another off-campus account,
the student may set-up a forwarding address to automatically forward all
e-mail. This is done as follows:
-
From a campus computer terminal, log-on to the network.
-
Go to your server account drive. This is the "M: drive". The
easiest way to do this is to use Windows Explorer and click on M:
-
Create a text file (use the Notepad editor) that is titled .forward
- be sure to include the period as the first character of the file name.
This file should exist on the root directory of the M: drive.
-
The content of the file should contain nothing but the forwarding e-mail
address such as jbloe@hotmail.com
-
Save the file.
It is important that the .forward file be straight flat text - not
a word-processing document.
