Question
How do I update my email forwarding preferences?
Overview
The email forwarding service is available to active staff, faculty, students, and affiliates. This does not extend to students in programs associated with the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Public Health, and other specialized programs that are not eligible.
The service will forward your mailid@ucdavis.edu campus email to an alternate address. This forwarding service will only apply to new incoming messages sent to your mailid@ucdavis.edu address after you register. Your emails are no longer stored on UC Davis servers when email forwarding is set up.
UCDH related staff, faculty, and students please contact your departmental IT at 916-734-4357 for assistance.
If you are actively attending or working at UC Davis, you can route back to your UC Davis email using the steps below and picking the suggested ucdavis.edu option. You will be presented with an option to pick based on your service.
If you are retired, alumni, or no longer affiliated with UC Davis, please see this page for the retirement of this service: https://iet.ucdavis.edu/email-service-transition
Note: Your kerberos passphrase will be required to update email forwarding preferences
Answer

For a departmental mail ID routing changes, please visit the service hub to submit a change request in email address using this link. Person submitting must be the owner of the Mail ID.
NOTE: If you are using any electronic communications resources, such as an email address, for incidental personal use (e.g. for a login address to a non-UC Davis web page) and have left the University, it is strongly encouraged that you switch to using a personal non-UC Davis email address so you do not lose access to those sites or services when you leave UC Davis should email forwarding policies change.
