Setting a Forward Address in Outlook Web Access

Follow the instructions below to set a forward email address for your CFS mail when using Outlook Web Access.

• Go to http://webmail.le.ac.uk and login to your Webmail account with your CFS username and password.
  
  

• Click on the Rules button on the left hand side of the Outook Web Access window.
  
  

  

   

• The "Rules" window opens and it will list any rules you have already created.

  

   

• Click on the New... button at the top of this window and the "Edit Rule" window opens similar to the following:
  
  

  

   

• To set up a forward address enter a name in the "Rule Name" field.
  
  

• Then under "Sent to", under "When a message arrives", tick the Sent only to me box.
  
  

• Next under "Then" tick the Forward it to option and enter the address you want your email to be sent to.
  
  NOTE: When you tick the Forward it to box the Keep a Copy in my Inbox option is automatically selected. Any email sent to your University address will be sent to your alternative address and a copy will also be stored on your University email account. The email stored on your account uses up your email quota, see About Quota Allocations and should you reach your quota limit, any email sent to your address would be rejected. You will be unable to receive any further email until you login to your CFS account and reduce the amount of email you have stored. (If you are close to your quota limit, you will be sent a warning email advising you of this.)
  
  You should therefore unselect this option if you never intend to check your CFS mail account. It should only be selected if you are willing to access your University email account regularly and check that you have enough free quota to receive email.
  
  

• Finally click on the Save and Close option to save your new rule for autoforwarding your email.
