Beginning on Friday, Sept. 29, Ohio State employees will no longer be able to forward to their osu.edu mailbox to outside email services – services like Yahoo, Google, Hotmail, etc.
Graduate students who are also employees, such as those with graduate assistantships, may have both a BuckeyeMail account (@buckeyemail.osu.edu) and a University Email account (@osu.edu) as an employee/faculty member. Those who have been forwarding their UES accounts to BuckeyeMail will now have two mailboxes to check to ensure they receive all of their messages. On https://email.osu.edu, users can check BuckeyeMail by clicking the BuckeyeMail button under the “For Students” header and to check university email, log in by clicking the University Email Service button under the “For Faculty and Staff” header.
OCIO will communicate this change throughout September, and has already communicated directly with individuals who are forwarding email. Click here for more information about the change.
Hi,
Can you please clarify if this change will be for all forwarding or just automatic forwarding? Will there still be the ability to manually forward individual emails to non-OSU addresses?
