USING GMAIL TO FORWARD YOUR GC EMAIL ACCOUNT

In two easy steps, any Gmail account can be used to forward your GC email to any address of your choice. This solution will work for forwarding any email address that allows POP access. Note: Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo do not allow POP access.

Step One: ADDING YOUR GC ACCOUNT TO GMAIL

  1. If you do not have one, create a free email account with Gmail
  2. Log-in to your Gmail account
  3. Click on "Settings" in the upper right hand corner of the browser window
  4. Under "Settings" click on the "Accounts" tab
  5. Under "Get mail from other accounts" click on "Add another mail account"
  6. Type in your Graduate Center email address and click "Next Step"
  7. Type in your Graduate Center email password
  8. Check the box that says "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server"
  9. Check the box that says "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail" (try un-checking this box if you get an error message)
  10. Check the box that says "Label incoming messages"
  11. Check the box that says "Archive incoming messages (Skip the Inbox)"
  12. Click on "Add Account"
  13. Your GC email will now be pulled into this Gmail account via "POP"

(If you would like to be able to send mail from your GC address while in Gmail, also complete the following steps)

  1. Choose "Yes, I want to be able to send mail as youraddress@gc.cuny.edu"
  2. Click "Next Step"
  3. Click "Next Step" again.
  4. Click "Send Verification"
  5. Log-on to your GC email by going to Web Mail
  6. Retrieve the 7 digit code from the verification email in your GC inbox, enter it into the Gmail window and click "Verify"

Step Two: FORWARDING YOUR GC EMAIL FROM GMAIL TO ANOTHER ADDRESS

  1. In the same Gmail account that you added your GC email address to, Click on "Settings" in the upper right hand corner of the browser window
  2. Under "Settings" click on the "Filters" tab
  3. Click "Create a new filter"
  4. Under "Choose search criteria" type your complete Graduate Center email address
  5. Click on "Next Step"
  6. Check the box next to "Forward it to:" and enter the email address where you would like to receive your GC email. (To forward all the mail currently in your GC inbox which was pulled into Gmail after completion of step one above, check the box next to "Also apply filter to ## conversations below")
  7. Click "Create Filter"
  8. Your Graduate Center email will now be forwarded to the email address you have specified automatically.
