Forwarders are, as the name implies, addresses that forward email for one address to a set of other addresses. As your ULYSSIS account only comes with one potential mailbox, you will probably use many forwarders if you have your own domain for email in UCC. You can use forwarders for example to ensure that your organisation is always reachable on specific addresses known amongst students, faculty staff, partners you work with, etc. even though the team behind those addresses changes frequently. Below you can find detailed instructions how to create and edit these forwarders.
Change the forwarders for your @ulyssis.org email address
- Go to UCC and log in with your username and password.
- On the right side, click on Mail.
- Under Address forward you can change the forward address of your ULYSSIS mail by clicking on edit.
- Choose forward and enter the email address(es) you want to forward your ULYSSIS mail to and save the changes.
- If you forward to Gmail, Hotmail. or use Thunderbird, we recommend looking at Using a forwarder as an alias so you can send mails under the forwarding address instead of just your own.
If you want to forward emails received on your @ulyssis.org email address to other addresses as well as have them delivered in your mailbox, you can add username@ulyssis.org to the forwarders list. This will ensure that the email is delivered to your mailbox as if the destination was set to Inbox, while emails are still forwarded to the other addresses.
